ooh yeah, check it out. Make sure you changed your plugs out to NGK R5672A-8, they make a huge difference in how it performs and runs.

Hmm if what I look at today doesn't help (checking for boost leaks, tighten the belt, check maf connection) I may pick up a set of those. When I installed the charger I just replaced the plugs out to NGK BKR5EK (basically stock plugs except they're not multi ground... couldn't find multi ground at the autopart stores around here).

Well I tried tightening the belt.. Used a crowbar to adjust but the thing just doesn't want to budge. Got it to move a little bit but apparently not enough to get rid of the squeak. Its still running very rich and struggling to crank, I checked all the pipping and hoses and theres no leaks that I can see I'm just really frustrated and confused. Still waiting to hear back from VF

I'd have to agree with ya...set the tension to 150lbs and you shouldn't have any problems

Yeah I'm planning to tighten it tomorrow morning.. I've got a larger problem now too, it seems to be running way to rich and is struggling to crank. Worked perfect for about 90 miles and started giving me problems.  I'm going to dive in and look for boost leaks tomorrow as well.

Hey jimbo whats up? That doesn't sound good to me. HAHA. I am sorry that you are having trouble. When you come back to the burgh we need to hangout and make a trip to Ohio to see todd. Well good luck with the SC. Give me a ring or a text.
