I think I'm one step ahead of you. I just received a call from my dealer saying it's ready to go.

Not a common problem I presume? I know GTM's kit was having an issue with lack of backpressure because of the long-tube headers and was only achieving 4psi on a 6psi pulley.

I wonder if it needs a custom-tune to get your air/fuels and ignition timing straighten out. If your VVEL isn't advancing correctly then it should effect your car as N/A you would think.

These are the symtoms I was experiencing when NA. When I hit the throttle it felt laggy. One day my car drives like a beast then the next felt like crap. I always thought it was just a batch of bad gas so that's why I never brought it up to my dealers attention. They confirmed that it isn't working properly as it should and could be the caused to why my car is running lean when FI. So after they fix that problem theyll go back into working the FI.

For sure it's mechanical. No codes when NA. They told me that I'm not driving my car hard enough to actually throw a code. But Now it threw a code when going into boost and went into limp mode.

At least the dealership is being cool about it and performing the warranty work for you. They may end up replacing the whole head.

Beshoff confirmed Weiboy has an issue unrelated to the supercharger, but they picked up on it when driving, and identified the problem. Beshoff knows their stuff..

Good, lets make sure this is cleared up that it's not because of the forced induction.
