    when it fails worry about it. id focus on making it run well.

    the problem with the electric wp is cost. you might free up 10 hp for 350 dollars. the electric wp's don't have near the longevity of an oem unit.

    Have you checked to make sure the vacuum lines on the bbs aren't dried out and cracked?

    whats low? and how you reading it? all you got is lego blocks on the dash there. they kinda blow. stock is like 7 to 8 psi, with no cat or u bend maybe 6 to 7 psi.

    a good cat that wont set the cel for no cat, as a hi flow cat can do that. unless you plan on modding it and getting it tuned. and deleting the cat and rear o2 sensor.

    I plan on Mod'ing it. That's what I bought it for. Gave 800 bucks for it now I got 1k in it. I pulled out the welder and brushed up on my welding skills and deleted the cat. But made it where I can run O2 sensors in it. Tried to upload pics of what I did but keeps saying upload failed. Also got rid of the u bend in the pipe. Will try to upload pics agian.

    you need to host your pics on line some where, fb, photobucket what have you, then link it here. upload pc to the site does not work well.
