He must of got something defective with his. Blkpanman what was the original problem that led you to believe there was something wrong with the supercharger? Can you elaborate on it a little so we will have signs to look for. Thanks

yeah, the car was having trouble firing up. this issue is a fuel issue of some sort. most likely with the regulator. my guy will have it on thursday to figure it out. when i spoke to comptech, he was trying to blame it on the a/f meter that was used on the dyno. which was bull.. Everything is installed perfect, the wiring is correct - doesn't take a scientist to get that right. it's probably something very simple. picture your car accelerating and then getting starved of fuel to a point.. that, along with the starting issue has the car going back to the shop.

I spoke with Mike today as well, warrenty sounds fine. Cats are covered by the mfg, assembly/welds by the shop. Said if I ran into problems I could just ship the kit back and he would repair or replace.

Put my deposit down this afternoon. Can't wait to see the dyno.

This 20lb-ft torque increase is pretty impressive.
there was a good torque increase above 5 k the same reason it gave a 25whp increase was that it extended the torque curve whereas pre header it feel off rapidly at 5K.

you could just drive and hour and get it installed by them with a dyno for 150. Thats not bad with a dyno run.

Is their anyway we can see the dyno charts on a stock TL with the upgrade? I think im like alot of people who are just not sure about the gains.. esp the one post with all the mods CAI giving only 6hp. If I get a reassurance or a money back guarantee then Ill drop the 1k.

Just so you know.. im by no means car engine savey.. but if it says the E-Shift ProCat
should put out 21+/- HP and if you bought a AEM CAI which I believe is 19+/- HP why would it only output 6hp from what jaycuzz said(page10). Just to clarify what im asking for

Just because you slap one part on with another does not make them add up. Parts perform differently when you introduce different variables into the equation. It always amazes me when the typical ricer claims they have 300 ponies cuz they added an intake, exhaust, headers, etc etc. 20+10+20 does not necessarily mean a plus 50. Thats what dynos are for. You do a baseline run, then do another run with the parts. Then you see how much it really went up.

If you have intake and exhaust already you will probably get decent gains. I will let you know as soon as I get mine installed.

yes because sometimes 20+10+20 ='s 75


like add a turbo by itself 50 hp
add exhaust by itself 20
the two combined 100

This collector back modification will be extremely beneficial for the boosted J32s.

Look at the gains on WRXs when adding downpipes...they have seen gains near 50 whp.

WHAT?!?!?

I am a previous WRX owner (actually had 20k in mods on the thing too), and I will tell you right now a downpipe does not add anywhere near 50whp. Most are around 15whp.

Back in business. Problem was the fuel pressure regulator after it was modified. In boost the pressure was dropping from 60 to 30psi. . We put a new stock fuel pressure regulator in and didn't modify it. (comptech says this is ok, i will find out, once i get the A/F ratio) The pressure doesn't drop now. The car also starts right up. The hard starting was a symptom of the bad regulator.

Will there be a problem because I have a SC?

From what they say you might get better gains with the supercharger. I plan on adding a supercharger in a few months when the weather breaks. Im on the list for the procats too. They will work together.

If you get a SC the UR Pulley has to come off.
The SC and the header will work together..cool.

Is this a true header or a downpipe?

I wasnt trying to downplay anything. I answered a question. My answer does nothing to take away from the product being sold or the effort behind it.

Everything is fixed.. it wasn't a jerking issue. the modified regulator was messed up, and cutting my fuel in half. we put in a new regulator and didn't modify it.. pressure is good. when i get some new A/F readings, i'll see if it needs to be tweaked.. but most likely not..

yea it kind of sucks, the UR pulley will have to come off for boost issues, also the aem intake will come off too. So in all reality I might only be getting 40-45 hp when adding the supercharger. Something for me to think about. One thing I was thinking of how much does HP does the supercharger actually give? The dyno I saw had it dynoed without supercharger and comptech exhaust. Then he dynoed it with supercharger and exhaust and gained 65hp. The two can go together and make different gains. My question how much HP are you going to get if you add the supercharger, when you already have the exhaust.

I agree with you nitro, I appretiate what you have done for us and a few other on this site do too im sure. If e-shift was able to make headers they prob would of. Since our exhaust manifold is cast on, it doest make it possible. Im in and the 21whp and 16tq is what sold me (that is it). I am impressed with those #'s.
