Them... being the Florida sisters and Evo?

Let's take the proper time to break this down.

Go big, or go to a real country? Going big is a suggestion of winning. Going to a real country, one would think is a suggestion of similar success as a man. So, if you choose not to go big, it's suggested you go to a real country? Maybe, Coop's merely suggesting one must go to a real country in order to learn how to go big? If one already knows how to go big, is it safe to go to Canada, at least to visit? Let's say VR6 went to Iran for a while... would he then be okay with an abnormally loud supercharger, or would he sell his VW's and buy a Viper? Does Jjo need to buy a plane ticket to Iran?

Did you get them so that you have a higher resale value on that car so getting the Viper is a lot more sensible.

Here is a little something from my VR6 twin screw project.

The gauge is a cheap thing from Summit for diagnostics only. I will be getting a good one once I have everything set-up.

Another crappy video, but I actually took the car out on the road this time.

Thanks. Yeah, it does sound a lot more normal with the hood down.

I am having a small issue though, which is that it runs up to 8psi, and then starts dropping off to around 5-6psi. Vac leak?

Don't know dude.... if you had a vaccum leak I do not think you would be able to get to 8psi at all.

Could be maxim out the springs on the blow off valves.... do you have blow off valves?

No, no bypass or blow-off. Since the throttle body is in front of the charger it's not necessary to have a bypass. Not saying it wouldn't help, but it's not needed.

I am starting to wonder if it's belt slip?
