Default Things to double check if you've got a procharger thread

I had some thoughts on things to doublecheck after an install of the ATI setup. It's a good list of things to doublecheck for those of you who had someone else do your install.

1) check for kinks in the hi-flow fuel pump elbows.

2) verify the vacuum line to bypass is free from kinks.

3) verify operation of the bypass valve (if you suck on the vacuum line and hear it or see it actuate, it should be working)

4) you can pull one of your spark plugs to see how its been running.........if it's white you're running lean, if it's black you're running rich

5) make sure all hose clamps are tight.......if they're not, you can blow a hose off under boost.......the car will run very rough with that much of an intake leak.

Thats all i can think of right now.....

Has anyone had any leaks? I think I have one now. I heard a slight pop the other day under moderate boost. No smoke, but the car feels noticably weaker. The other thing it does is... during idle on occasion it goes below .5 rpm for a half second and during that time a serious vibration takes place. I think I will take it in to have it looked at. I wish I lived closer to my installer. There is an ATI approved shop about 45 minutes away. I think I will have them change my oil (in the s/c) at the same time since the suction method didn't work very well.
