    Imagine that! You're doing a hell of a job getting all that stuff to fit in such a tight space.

    my experience with a speed density mustang and a blower is that as soon as the map sees positive pressure the computer just shuts off till it sees vac. again. we used a one way check valve (the one for the cruse controle on a fox mustang works really well). the problem with that is that it would trap the vac. on the map side. so we drilled a really small hole in the map side of the check valve so it could bleed off the vac and that worked really well.
