Im not sure if it works better on a stock blower but that OEM blower spacer did not work for @!#$ on my TVS, supplied gaskets did not work, rtv did not work, anything I tried had massive vac leak, and it did nothing for temps like it was supposed to

be sure to do the gm dual pass as well, you can find the plates pretty cheap not much more than 100 bucks for one, for a 2.7/60s setup you need all the cooling mods you can get.

Alright. What would be the best place to look for the dual pass?

It's a marketing thing to make more money and buy all at once rather than piecing it together and saving money.

And I just looked up the sportlines: 1" in the front and 1.3" in the back. Think that is enough drop?

You decide, I think it's great personally.

Hey man i'm not sure what guage you are referring to for temps... are you just talking about the "coolant temp" if so that is not what i'm referring too. Your IAT temps are the temperature of the compressed air flowing through your intake manifold. If those are currently 180 degrees you have something seriously wrong with your intercooler system.

I'm sure the 180 mentioned was the engine cooling temp.

What Jimmy referenced is the IAT1/IAT2 temps which will tell you the efficiency of your supercharger's cooling system, which is seperate from the engine cooling.

One wise thing to do is verify your intercooler pump is still working, you will see fluid moving in the neck with the car running, however my favorite method to check this is to jump the relay with the vehicle off, key on, it is in the enginebay's fusebox and don't directly quote me until I'm 100%, because I'd hate to ruin something, but I believe you jump 87 & 30 where the relay goes. Haven't done that as mine is tuned to run key-on.

Intercooler pump failure is common, electric motor, brushes wear, majority of every car I've went to do cooling mods on has had a dead pump.

I have the eibachs sportlines whatever the lower drop ones are... on stock shocks and its not the best ride quality.

Pretty much everyone agrees the pedders/oem LNF shocks are the combo to go with for best ride and handling

I will eventually change struts but I am doing it for a cheap appearance/handling combo tbh. And I am pretty sure the sportlines are less of a drop but it's no biggy. Mind posting any picks of the drop?

i dont really have any handy sportlines are strictly an appearance mod, they have no ride or handling improvement over stock
