really.. ****.....doesnt your BoV go crazy when you back off the throttle..... like i got the same setup, and when I back off the throttle it constantly lets air out making a loud arse hissing noise. yours do that?

No because I hooked my blower clutch to be tied into the TPS signal, when the TPS signal line goes to low (0v...throotle open) the blower is switched on, when it goes to +12v to (idle) the blower is switched off.... So if my foot is down the blower is on, foot off blower off The only shound I get out of the plumb back bov is a loud "thrap" as the compressed air escapes.....

hmmm is it hard to make the blower run off ur TPS? coz next year im moving my TB - but a quick fix for now is to do that. - ALSO, if ur cruisin at 80.. with only a bit of throttle open in a high gear, wont the blower be on still leaking air out the bov - on my car if im cruisin i need at least half throttle open for the blow off valve to close.. anythin less then half throttle its slightly open hissing its asshole off

note the extra pulley on the power steering pump john..... very interesting and keeps everything in the stock locations.... kaBOOMn, do you find that boost/belt slippage is limited by the crank-powersteering belt or the powersteering-blower belt?

where is the extra pulley?

you can only see it in the last photo, and only indistinctly. it's been attached right on the end of the power steering pulley, so now there's two there. basically, the crank belt drives the power steering AND blower at the same time. i'm just wondering if the extra resistance gives belt slipping issues....
