Question about 9lb pulley for comptech
right now i have the stock pulley on my comtech kit.. i did my own custom piping to run an intercooler instead of the aftercooler and I lost a little bit of boost through the piping..
My boost gauge is reading about 5psi... before i did the intercooler piping and it was ran straight into the intake it read 7psi..
My question is.. do u think i can get a 9lb pulley and run it with my setup. without having to mess with fuel and tuning? since i am loseing boost n with the 9lb it would be around 7psi actually.
if not. what else whould i need to get to make it run safely.
thanks

If you think that you will lose 7lbs with the 9lb pulley - than you should be fine just getting on the dyno and tuning with the comptech FPR. I would recommend that you go with 1 step colder plugs and gap a bit tighter.
Let me know what the dyno numbers are. I've considered going with a FMIC but have always thought that the gains with a AC would be better. Good luck.
Have any pics of the FMIC?

n no, i dont think i will lost 7psi.. ,, i just thing with the 9 psi pulley i might be around 7.. since im at 5psi with the 7psi pulley
...Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the stock pulley for Comptech was 5.5psi.
