TRD supercharger

Wow man this sucks.... any idea how many people are having similar or the same issues as you?

 

Im not sure, I am being patient and not giving up as of now, I sent scott data logs with my engine hesitation/stumbles

We will see what happens. I will update you

 

When did you install it? Did you notice these issues right after?

 

Not really, I went from Calgary alberta to Phoenix az, and it definitely was different elevation


I never had prolonged starts in Calgary but I do in Phoenix

I cant explain why

I installed in Calgary right around the first of july

I noticed a positive change right after install, even though it was positive it didnt meet my expectations, and now I have smallish issues

 

Well hopefully you can figure it out...

 

Urd will say
"We have sold xxx of these and this is the 1st we have heard of this problem".
Unless they rewrote their response in a box

 

WHERE IS THE FUCKING SUPER LIKE BUTTON?

 

I have heard of them saying that .... lol

 

Check with @ChadsPride

Aint that a bitch?
Especially when you hear other ppl saying they heard just that about THE SAME PROBLEM?

 

Haha honestly they never pulled that excuse on me but notheless we know its common

 

Very common problem... I’ve been running my blower without that foam strip for years. I think it runs better without

 

Say what?! Seriously? Lol. That would be an unmetered vacuum leak though!

 

Scratch that. I see what that strip is used for now and where exactly it is placed. I agree, it should just be removed. It could be a problem down the road if it becomes dislodged anyways. I sort of feel like pulling apart my heat exchanger core and removing that stuff now myself.

 

Whitebeauty on xru may have some of those gaskets left.

 

I think the only thing the foam strip is used for is directing the air through the intercooler. So the winter months are great. It also soaks up all the oil from the pcv valve. Yes a catch can will get most of that oil but there is always a residue on the intercooler too. I clean my intercooler with carb cleaner couple times a year.

 

I have never cleaned mine before and I have put some 30K miles on it easily. I probably should take mine off to clean it as well. Good thinking.

I don't mess with catch cans.

 

Why no catch can for you?

 

Because they still allow mist or crankcase fumes through. Yeah they might catch the major stuff, but it will never catch it all no matter how many sources of filtering you have. Not only that, but messing with the length of vacuum hosing for the PCV is supposed to mess with the functionality of the PCV system as a whole.

If I really wanted to do something like a catch can, I'd rather just go the whole stretch and go with a negative pressure system like a vacuum pump, but that is super expensive and I already had that setup once before on my 6.0 full effort N/A setup. I didn't like the maintenance of it.

 

Lower boost than what I should had been making inconsistent boost, lower vacuum idle and at hard feel. I was making 7-8.5 rarely 10 now I am making my 10 that I should be almost every time. The symptoms were similar to that of the serpentine belt slipping. Peaking at 11. Violent boost engagement at 3k rpm, it's much less now. That little jet throttles the bypass valve instead of allowing it free engagement. Now that it is not restricted all of those odd symptoms went away.
