Ive done it before but I cant remember a couple things. I pulled the blower and some piping and plugged up the intercooler holes. I fed the oil return line into the rubber oil hose. I cant remember what Im supposed to do with the vacuum line from the plenum to the bypass valve. Also should I increase my fuel pressure or lower it since Ill be running rich as hell. Thanks. Jason

 

If your running the SS box, then there is a vac connection that tee's off and it goes from the ss box, intake, and by pass valve. Is that what your asking?

 

No Im running a UTEC. There is a vacuum line from the bypass valve to the SSV manifold. I think Im supposed to block it off. Thanks for the input.

 

you shouldnt be running rich as hell bc you will never get past the 0% load column, as there's no boost. your tuner shoulda scaled the 0% load column so it ran/idled like stock.

I take off my blower belt and the car runs like it did off the lot.

yes, you have to block off that vacuum line.

you shouldnt have to change your fuel pressure either, as that should been set at a baseline before you tuned. You regulator increases fuel pressure with increasing boost. Since you are not boosted, theres no need to increase the pressure.

 

Sorry, didn't see the initially, if your just removing the S/C for maintenance, then just block off that vac nipple on the intake. Don't really know with your set-up, but on mine that is an unused nipple for vac and it sounds like the only place yours is going is to the BPV. Can't really tell just from reading though, GL.

 

Thanks alot fellas.
