Blower is on.
Started it up and had a ticking noise. Sounded like something was hitting the belt so I shut down and checked everything. Tightened the fule lines cause I saw leakage. Fired it up again and checked all the injectors & plug wires & it is pretty quiet.
All in all, I would say I was relieved. Sounds good when I give it some part throttle and get up above 2K. You can really hear the blower whine. I love it. If I drive normally I can't even tell its there. Doesn't seem that much more powerful or faster but my butt-o-meter was never really accurate.
One thing I do notice is a smell afterward (post shutdown).
Does the blower/engine give off aburnt smell for a while?
Like the oil from your hands and stuff burning off of something?
Is there a break in period for the blower?
I have not give a real WOT run since it was wet out today. Hopefully I can hook up my guages this weekend to get some feedback on boost fuel, & coolant.
What should I do to make sure I did everything correct? Thanks
