Procharger Truck Hat Users HELP!!!!
As the title says I need help with my Procharger Truck Hat installation. I have a 02 ta with Procharger F1A with stock rad and procharger shroud and Spal 9" an 16" fans.
With rad in the factory location in the front rad support I can't get the truck hat on the supercharger. The hat is tight up against the procharger fan shround. Anyone have any ideas.

Simple fix, trim about 1/2 inch off where it connects to the procharger. I just went through all this about 2 months ago! I used a pair of Wiss Aviation snips, I think that was the name. Use whatever you got to trim it down and tighten it down with a T-Bar clamp.
Clamp size is 4.25 or so, Vibrant Performance. The 4.05 size will be too small!

I then came to realize that the hat also contacted the lower radiator support in that same area so I used a grinder to clearance the support where the hat was contacting it. With a little trimming it will fit in there but it is very tight.

The metal ring has to be removed regardless if it is a D-1SC or an F-1A. Bob

Guys have dyno proven that the hat + big filter makes just as much power as nothing on the blower. The guy I bought my F1-A dyno tested it and saw no improvement dropping the truck inlet and filter off the blower. Guys have also seen the screens being a major restriction as well and have lost power.
Think about it, the inlet is pulling air, and if the entrance is turbulent, you won't make as much power as you would with a smooth entry into the blower. The inlet hat allows the air to smoothly transition into the blower better than not having anything on it.

I took my hat off and picked up 1.5 psi of boost on my F1C. and 28 rwhp

This is exactly what I did when I had an F1a on my car. I ran into the same problem. I removed the fan shroud and used a die grinder to cut a square out of the shroud so that the hat would clear. Chances are u will have to cut and reinstall the shroud a couple of times to get it perfect. I wanted to leave as much of the shroud intact as possible.
I then came to realize that the hat also contacted the lower radiator support in that same area so I used a grinder to clearance the support where the hat was contacting it. With a little trimming it will fit in there but it is very tight.

I understand completely what you are saying however if it was completely true, then would outlaw 10.5 outlaw dr and x275 be not running a filter? Why would they have rules saying to bumper exit for the blower in Ultra?

All of the guys who aren't running an inlet or filter, are running a bell of some sort on the front of the blower to smooth out the air inlet. In that case, yes, it would probably make more power. But those mesh screens are really bad, I've seen guys lose a lot of power with them compared to a tube and filter.
