PSI doesn't matter with a blower, you want to set the pulley ratios so it's high, but tune the intake/exhaust (and everything inbetween) so the pressure is as low as possible, it means you're getting as much flow as possible (or that's what I learnt while researching supercharging mine.. which I obviously never got around to doing..)

Even though it's probably out of tune, does it have much more go over the N/A?

Fram filters are good I use them in both my cars, although the replacement interval is only 5000km (doesnt matter, I do an oil service every 2-3 months because of the mileage im doing) and i use Castrol GTX 2 (15W-40), Havn't found it as good as the Fuchs Titan or Valvoline XLD that I have used previously. Might give Total 15W-40 a try next time.
