Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

WOW thanks for the compliment!! The following website shows all the accessories that Spectre has to offer. They make steel braided covered radiator hoses, I also got steel braided fuel hoses to replace the ones on my FMU and all my vac hoses steel braided thanks to Spectre. You can either buy them through the website or you can find them at your local Pep Boys. The prices are pretty accurate. I forgot what size I used, I suggest you measure the hoses just to make sure. Good luck with all your projects. Any more questions feel free to ask or pm.

Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

So are these hoses more durable than regular hoses, like do they last the life of the car? Or are they mostly decorative?

Back to increasing the boost...Have you had the car dynoed w/ the current psi, and will you have the car dynoed when you increase it? I'm curious as to your #'s. Also, does the sensor that was plugged in to the intake box plug in anywhere on that set-up? How does that intake filter do? Does it hit the hood at all?

Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

I am going to dyno the car before I install the 9psi pulley. The sensor is installed into the discharge pipe that goes from the supercharger to the throttle body. The filter doesn't hit my hood. It works perfect with my ram air hood. The filter falls right at the opening of the hood scopes.

you need a meth kit :) :) :drool: :drool:

Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

Don't know much about meth kits. Do you know of any good sites to read about it and purchase a kit. How much do the kits run and how much can I expect to gain?? Are they hard to install and are they safe for the engine?? All info is greatly appreciated!!

Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

so what about water/meth getting sprayed across the maf sensor? Any problems with that? i have heard that some chemicals like wd40 (too much oil on k and n filter for example) can cause problems with the maf and there are also tech reports about error codes that relate to a
'dirty' or fouled maf.

seems like a hassle if we have to plumb behind the maf.

Re: Planning to pump up the boost!!

cant spray the maf with meth because it is a fuel have to tap behind
