Dude you installed this thing on the 5th and now it's the 24th. So your mom's camera was on vacation and now it was left in the sun, just borrow one from a friend or something. It's 2009 everyone has a digital camera! lol Anyway, been wanting to hear this just as much as everyone else here. Good Luck!

I would be worried about a greddy bc u have to modify a BOV to work as an bypass valve if u want to your blower to last. GL with that one.
As for the HKS... I believe it should work bc it's used mostly on mustangs and HKS happens to have the springs rated for 18psi. I cant wait until mine comes in but it's still back ordered from Japan.

Are u talking about the vortech one that came with the kit or the mondo? It says 0-8psi but I think around 13psi would be the max on that one. I called vortech before and a tech said I could push it to 16psi but when I had it on i felt it wasn't really cutting it once I got into the teens.
Also, Max-Hid... yes the greddy BOV is flowing air but if not modified to work as a real bypass valve then your blower seal will start to go bad.

ya even at 12-15 psi the stock maxflow one, i know its not opening any as my boost is very linear in every log i've done. no slip, no leak, just boost. the only reason I'd consider a mondo is bc it can dump more air faster and prevent compressor surge. i hardly drive the car and even less often run over 5 psi bc i shift like a granny 
cant wait for you to try the HKS on some real power though. That will be awesome to see another 500whp vortech!! you gotta keep us updated as that will prolly be the highest SC power of an active member.
