Made some progress on the bracket. Need to pull it off, clean it up, and paint. It bolts to the blower to intake bolts, slotted for adjustment. Man, everything is tight!

Had to stop, because I didn't have fittings to go from the ports on the TB to the fresh air inlet and remote IAC. They are o-ring, so going to order those today. Need to splice in the plug for the remote IAC, and then calibrate the IAC effective area. Should be going after that.

Thank you sir!

A few photos, thinking about powder coating the tube and welding the bracket.

Nice setup! How does the loose stall converter work with the blower?

It feels fine under normal driving. Stalled up or heavy on the gas it feels loose, but takes off hard.

Does it help light up the charger rolling into it at all? My truck is fast, but you have to be ready for it to get it to go 100%. I was wondering if a looser converter would help spin up the charger at all?
