Anyone know how difficult it is to pull the Procharger by pass valve? Can I get it out without pulling the snail? Need to pull it to vacuum test it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

im not sure how the g8 kit mounts it, or where its located, but the charge piping on my kit had a place that poked out where it mounted with a few tq screws i believe.

if the g8 has this sort of fitment design it should be a breeze. more importantly? why are you taking it off? too loud?

I believe he has the ProFlo surge valve, which is connected by a hose and not the Big Red race valve that is hard mounted into the intercooler piping.

Correct, it is the ProFlow valve. I pulled it out last night, have a hand vacuum pump coming today or tomorrow so I can test its operation per Procharger's instructions. I got a bit less boost increase than expected from a pulley change and just want to eliminate the valve as a possible issue.
