Hey guys, as I was looking at the extra m90 i have, i got an idea. Now I'm not saying this is original, but I have never heard of anyone trying this. Also, I know Ron has done sometype of mod with the boost bypass, but I forget what that is.
So anyways, There is a bolt underneath the control arm of the boost bypass. And when the supercharger is off the car you can gain access to the underside of the bolt. The underside of it is designed for a allen wrench. So I was thinking, you could unscrew this bolt and then screw it back in the opposite way (allen wrench part facing up). Then put the m90 back on the car, and now you can adjust that bolt at anytime. Meaning you can control whether the boost bypass would close all the way. Therefore you could keep it open a little bit and lower boost levels, because some air would go through the bypass.
Now for the questions. Would this effect drivability or set a code? What problems might occur by leaving the bypass open a little bit? Is this a stupid idea?
I was thinking some advantages might be:
If you have kr and cant solve it right away. Instead of getting a bigger size pulley, you could just keep the bypass from closing all the way.
If you want to put on a smaller pulley for the track and run race gas. Then on your way to and from the track you could keep the bypass from closing all the way and so if you wanted to floor it around, you wouldnt have to have race gas in yet or worry about massive amounts of kr.
So what do you guys think? Again, im not claiming this to be all my idea, just something Ive never heard before. Thanx.
