+1 to trimming. The extra room helped, especially after my idler pulley snapped off.had to upgrade to stronger bolts. Don't know if it was an issue specific to me. But if anyone else it pushing 13psi on the HKS kit, consider upgrading to stronger idler puller bolts, or keep a close eye in them.

Actually, I remember when the car was first on the dyno, it would only boost to ~10psi. I was experiencing some belt slip/loose and a few of the belts were changed to slightly smaller ones. Also, Tuan tweaked the tune and then it would boost to 12-13 psi and made more power. I'm wondering if any further improvements will show when I go back for a retune with the new Cosworth plenum that so far is leak-free.

^^ thanks for all the info! really helpful... I can go talk with my tuner since I was aiming for something like your set up. I have the same set up as you but the difference is the pulley which I'm getting and the EMS, I'm using Osiris(saving for an Fcon)..
A silly question man, I wonder if you ever dyno your car on a different Dynometer such as mustang or DJ?

This is an awesome thread!
Looking good IanP and Jonnylaw!!
Would you guys know the size of the the piping required for the oil catch can? i.e. the nozzle size for the crankcase and piping size??
I'm trying to figure this out!

I'm curious...what are the biggest numbers anyone has seen on a HKS Supercharger with the VQ?
Also, I imagine the reason the HKS SC has a better hp/torque ratio than the Vortech is probably because the HKS's pulley/belt layout brings the boost up more quickly in the rpm range than the Vortech so you can get moore boost at lower rpms, therefore better torque response...yes?

The Serial number on marble's blower is GTS7040-070086 which is the one you stated that you bought and then ended up selling it to me..

I hope Karma doesn't hit on you twice in the future. I could've easily dealt with a pulley but you stating that you are old enough and professional to the point that your word is worth it on top of any supercharger stuff... blah blah blah.. is just lame... you truly lie sir and it's disappointing. I worked over 1 year and saved little by little and struggle between school/housing expenses to afford what I purchased from you ...
No more drama and I'll have to suck it up.... Lesson learned,I believed that before this forum was full of people we could trust but lately this place is getting crazy... scams from random people and vendors.. watch out for them people.. specially when it comes to items that are pricey..

sorry to hear about the scam dude!!!
that's why I ended up buying a brand new vortech kit...
I just did'nt trust the marketplace...
anyways.. can you feel a HUGE difference between those 60WHP in gain...
I'm just curious, because I just can't imagine how the Vortch is going to be like...
