One more thing...

Magnasum recommends stock plugs for gap & heat range. So I am assuming my NGK IRX will be OK gapped @ 0.57?

I would like to get colder plugs, what is recommmended?

Make sure that harness is not in the way of the bypass actuator.

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
