PROJECT VR6 install Supercharger M90 thunderbird With Video

You did a nice job with the coil pack (weld and shrink) put why did you take a cheep trailer plug? It's probably the cheepest plug on the market and it will probably give you some problem.

If I get problems, I'll just remove the connector and weld it all together.
But don't forget, trailer plugs are sometimes in water outside and worn from usage on and off, in which this one won't be ??
 
Here are a few changes I made during the winter while waiting for my intercooler parts I ordered.

To fit the coolant reservoir for the intercooler, I had to re-locate the power steering reservoir, here is the bracket I made next to the battery

Not sure on the numbers I will get, I'm only running 7 pounds of boost, which is good for now.

Congrats! Great build and clean installation, very OEM-ish looking!

Your 7psi of boost just got something like 50% more effective. What sort of software are you running? As is been updated since the addition of the A2W IC?

Do you have any measurement device or check light to ensure your pump works or to keep an eye on the intake air temps? Curious about how cool the water can be kept in a city/highway driving conditions.

I guess you are currently running water in the liquid part of your system. If you want to keep the inner part of the system clean (and efficient), you could try out glycol/water mix.

I need to ask you a dumb question....what is A2W IC ??

I don't have a light for the pump, but I will be checking the air temps with my scanner.
I didn't have a chance to road test the car yet, so I haven't filled the intercooler with liquid.
It will be a mix of water & coolant, not sure at what % but thanks for the link you sent, I will study it to see the best mixture.
