Re: ATI Pro-charger Hey Mike,
I'll have some numbers very soon. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
My computer finally blew up after I don't know how many years of perfect reliability. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0"> I had to go out and buy a new one and I'm having a little trouble getting my DSL setup. I forgot how SLOW dialup is. I should be good to go in about a week, until then I probably won't be on very much. Did I mention dialup is SLOW . <img src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" border="0" alt="[boring]" />
I'll try and get some numbers for your boosted list by then. I'm thinking 12.40@111. We'll see. The power is there but its very deceptive since it comes on in such a linear fashion.
Most of my stage II stuff has arrived so once I get that stuff on I'll let you update whatever my original time turns out to be. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

XLR8NSS,
Why do you think ATI would not have engineered the kit to install that way?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Mike, I really don't know.
I really don't see any drawbacks to putting the MAF before the blower. From what I've heard it really helps idle surge with the smaller pullies. It also seems to cure the high ltrims that most(I don't know if everyone has this problem) ATI users are seeing.
What do your ltrims look like? I thought you might have mentioned them being a little high.
Take it easy.

Re: ATI Pro-charger John, I don't know if the surging was made worse by the hotcam that I run or not, but I've been driving the car now with the pull through method and love it. It acts just like N/A until you lay into the pedal. Although I have to keep an eye on the injectors as I'm seeing upto 23ms with 38lb (43.5psi rated) injectors. My combo is simple: PACE 85mm MAF calibrated for 38lb Lucas injectors and I made the wire extension (PACE also carries extensions) and the MAF fits in the K&N filter of the ATI kit. (You can use the filter tube coupler where the MAF used to be) Even with the massive MAF skew, I see 50lbs by 5700rpm not even at WOT, 3.5v on the TPS. The fuel system needs some priority quickly here.
But yes, the pull through works. Vortech uses it and their cars act quite normal. I hated the ATI at first with the blow through. If you looked at the idle air flow rate, you would see .60lb's, 1.2lbs, .60lb's... just constant jumping back and forth. Now it's just solid.
Why did ATI do it this way? Don't know...
Why did Incon decide to use it too?
