I cant remember what size pulley it is. I will have to measure it when i get home. When i was hitting full boost it was around 11-12 psi at about 6k. I have gone over all the couplers and vac lines but i guess it doesn't hurt to double check everything again. I was certain there weren't anymore leaks which is why i was thinking the problem was within the charger itself. It doesn't seem like it needs a rebuild though. Any chance it could be an EGR issue or is that pretty far fetched?

Also, are the vortech pulleys all pretty universal just different amounts of ribs? Mine does look pretty worn.

[CorradoMagic]

is your VC breather connected to the intake pipe? Your likely blowing past the oil separator & loosing boot by blowing into the head. Also not good for breather. You should have a closed intake pipe upto TB, you have to separate the VC breather, your under boost now, not just vacuum.

[92Lowraddo]

The PCV breather is just a long tube with a small filter at the end and the boost pipe is capped where it would have originally gone. I do have the larger vacuum line connected to the boost pipe right before the throttle body that runs to the ISV....

Selling my setup if anyone is interested

I recently picked up a 2.8 24v VF kit

I'm Almost done with the kit install but i am stuck at step 39. These VF instructions suck big time.

Any one know were the MAP sensor is ? ive look in the Bentley couldn't find it.

Can someone help. Pictures would be great

I'm assuming the instructions are wrong

When running stage a stage one vf kit with no ac what length belt do you get because the non ac idler is no longer available

[92Lowraddo]

non a/c no idlers is 57" or the gatorback i run is 56.7 i think

New Bosch Type 3 36lb injectors installed. Relocated the the FPR and moved the fuel lines out of site. Basically doing engine bay clean up. Will update with how she runs tomorrow but it sure does sound smooth though. Still need to do a bit more with some of the wiring as well. Some day when I am working more I want to do a T trim billet impeller with cogged pulleys and Lugtronics for tuning. I have also thought about throwing out the intercooler and putting in an Aquamist system for any thing over maybe 5psi of boost.

Any one have stage 1 or stage 2 install instructions

I have the vf v9 install guide at home on my computer, pm me your email and I can send it if you want

Another ? With vf stage 1 chip does it get rid of the secondary air pump and an o2 sensor or anything else

Nope.

So a little update. I was having problems for a while that my car was idling weird and having bucking issues. Well I placed the Maf on the drivers side where the horns are by running a 2.5" muffler tube with 90* vibrant couplings. It is actually one Of the better ideas for a v9. I had the muffler shop flare the ends so it was a direct fit to my maf and inlet pipe to my sc ill post pics ASAP! However I'm getting a huge heat problem! I'm thinking of doing 3 things to minimize the temps on my manny # 1 wrapping the exhaust tubing with a heat tape. I know on a hot day that metal has to be getting pretty warm!
#2 adding a phenolic space between my head and lower intake manny I've seen temps being as high as 80* cooler from the head to the manny just by doing this. #3 also putting some kind of heat barrier between my schrick and the valve cover. I can't even touch the manifold while hot this should not be the case! Let me know what you guys think! Oh and the setup is a v9, 30 lb software/injectors, 62 mm pully, abec7 ceramic rebuild, with a schrick intake manifold


Sorry for the crappy photos but you get the idea

With fully functional air conditioning!!! Proud to say it cuz it HOT here in Texas!

What would be the absolute best oil to use in a vf setup

Those spacers would help, but you could potentially squeeze a log-style AWIC where your boost pipe is.

[g6raddo]

THAT'S!!!!! Exactly what I was thinking thankyou. Where can I find one

[Scooter98144]

Any decent brand of full synthetic 10-30 is what I go by. There is no absolute best oil! If you want a real performance update to the oiling system then look into this. You would now be sending filtered oil to your charger.

Got another? When you guys extend your mafs to the other side of the car what size pipe do you use?

[prometheus_]

Look around,you gotta take measurements and find one that fits.

[MY87GTI]

I mean pipe diameter not lengt

[g6raddo]

I used a 2.5" exhaust tubing anything else would be to big. Just flare the ends to 3" and your golden. Just remember though that the road gets hot and this pipe will to

[CorradoMagic]

G6raddo, Clean bay. To further reduce intake temps you can 'upgrade' to the later OBD2 style plastic VC. Mine is polished as well. I know the plastic does keep heat transfer down some.

My filter is located on the d/s & the maf is located under my subframe(f. mt.). I used 3" Spectra flex tubing & its tightly zip tied to the subframe. the flex tubing allows me to follow the contour & stay 'tucked'.

[g6raddo]

I did consider this (the flex) but I wanted a more durable material, and although the vibrant couplings are spendy they are definitely the best way to go! And the fitment is perfect. I relocated my maf to the driver side where my filter is just to keep it off the ground Incase I hit something. Ill try to dig up a picture!

[g6raddo]

Here's one here. You can't see it in the pic but I bend the tubing in the middle to contour the front end, perfect fitment. I would ultimately like to weld a bracket to the tubing and mount it solid but zip ties has done the trick so far!

[g6raddo]

And of course another coupling on the pass side. But at 60 dollars it's hard to fork out for it unless I absolutely need it!

[MY87GTI]

What about the plastic covers on the vf kits? Anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one.

[MY87GTI]

Also what is that little electronic box for. The instructions tell you to zip tie it to the heater intake

Here's another option for sending filtered oil to your charger. It's a mini oil filter I bought from Torques UK on eBay. M10x1 to 4an...
