Forced Induction Turbochargers and Superchargers..Got Boost?

My Vortech is eating up cog belts? Could the bracket be flexing?

Sucks to hear this. I was able to drive the car home (kept revs below 3500) but with the wires taped and the connector was not plugged in to the selenoid. My Utec still seems to be fine and I didn't smell any electrical burning which I would imagine you would smell if something happened like Str8dum1's. Like I said I did blow the ECU fuse and once I replaced that the car started. I'm out of town until the weekend so I'm not able to repair this and check to see if it throws the code till then. Does anyone know where I can get this connector? The Nissan dealer I called said I needed to order the whole engine harness. I know there is no way to know for sure but would you guys guess that my ECU fuse blowing and no burnt electrical smell might mean my ECU is ok? Do you think since my car is still driving that my Utec is at least ok? Worst case if my ECU is bad would I have to get a re-tune if I replace my factory ECU? Damn why does all this have to happen right before I go out of town for a week! Thanks for any input guys.

no way to get that connector.

dealership would have to replace the whole engine side of the harness just for that one connector since they can't order them separately.

Just solder it up and go about life. If hte connector itself is damaged then you'll need to find a wiring harness to get one from. I have an extra non-rev wiring harness in my garage in indiana.

Ok so I replaced the plug and re-connected the wires. Car idles rough when it is plugged in. Took the car to Autozone and cleared codes and restarted, still tripping the engine light, getting multiple misfire and air/fuel codes. Weird thing is when the wire is plugged in the car runs rough, when it is unplugged the car runs smooth. Sound like a bad ecu? If I have to replace my ecu do I need a re-tune? Any ideas? This sucks.
