Default LSA Elbow

Capt-Kirk, this is what you need.
A 135* elbow will put the air tube/filter back
on the pass side

you start pushing this thing to high horsepower and I promise you that creates a massive restriction pre blower.

But it will help him get by until he relocates the battery and tube setup

I ended up cutting my K&N CAI. I cut the 30 degree turn out, flipped it. and put in a 45 lines up great. I need to open some cold air slots and move the baffle to the driver side.
I drove the truck today less than 50% throttle to log data for Black bear.
Some thing about that little bit of boost makes the back of your ***** tingle.

Ok. Dumb question. Is the injectors retainers required? The clips that hold the injectors to the rail

Not a dumb question
My truck retainers were too big for the LSA rails
LSA retainers are $8 a pop
So i just installed the injectors and rails and they are held in place fine, next to no up and down play after installed.
I may buy some latter as i off road alot.

The reservoir was an add on from Boost District contact Rosh
I placed it so the lower port would be higher than the top port on the LSA lid to aid in bleeding.

Bleeding was a bitch! I had to use a water hose under pressure with the pump on, even then the pump would out run the hose and run dry. I had to take the nozzel off the hose to push enough water through to get the air out.
Then I gravity bleed the water out and coolant in.

I got the LSA installed and Black Bear Performance is having trouble tuning it. They tell me i have a un mettered air leak just as boost is coming on. I cant find any leak, Others are saying the engine needs more fuel as the boost comes on.

Can you shed any light ?
