I am not sure what could be the trouble but I was out going threw the gears when I blew the hose off my blower that goes from the blower to the intercooler. Re attatched the hose but car hasn't ran the same since. Anyone have any insite on this

You gotta give some more details than just 'hasn't ran the same'. Is it not making boost? Is the boost lower?

alecat454

Yes my boost was 16 now I am only getting 10psi

Obviously you are still leaking boost somewhere... That or the belt is slipping..

Funny... I blew the charge tube off my F1R today as well...

They REALLY need to make those outlet tubes longer off of the blower.... Barely enough room to get a clamp on it, let alone clamp it above the rolled lips.

Yeah look at your blow off valve and make sure it had a boost/vacum source first place to look and then go to all your connections and check to see if they are 100% or not GL!

If the vac line was off the blowoff valve wouldn't it just stay closed?

alecat454

Not a nice sound when it happens aj lol

or come with a vband clamp on them .

No it would stay closed until the boost presure opened it which is usually around7-10lbs depending on the spring etc... The boost/vacum reference is to help keep it closed under boost and open when not. but it would cause the tune to be WAY off cause of it not opening etc...But that is just one of the easy things it could be etc...

Oh and I used to run two clamps on my F1R outlet a Tbolt and a standard worm type clamp never had another issue after that lol!

Andy, I just asked you in another thread if you have tried a t-bolt clamp on your inlet hat. Now that I see you asking here about where to buy t-bolt clamps, I'll take that as a no. lol
Your local Napa should have them in stock. Bob

when my bypass valve lost its vacuum source the supercharger just made compressor surge noises. then again I never got it above 3k rpm when it was doing that cuz supposedly its bad for the seals, but i can agree it blows hard enough to push it open. would explain the loss in boost.

Thanks I will check my Blowoff valve
