I have the vortech mondo on my car. Works perfect, even at 24+ pounds of boost. That BOV is a little bit over kill on you car, but it would work fine. I like all of the Vortech and Procharger BOV.

No leave the pulley size alone, I'd get a bypass made for a supercharger setup myself. Even a cheap Bosch at this point would be better technically.They are good until about 13psi.

^^^^^I agree if you have the stock bosch style that would work also. If you don't have one I have a brand new one some place.

The cheap intercoolers do have a huge pressure drop across them. I had one on my car last year. I was over spinning an s-trim and still only was making about 12lbs of boost at the intake.

well i decided to go with a 3.25 pulley some one is swaping it for my 3.60 pulley also ordered a real tial with 8psi as i was told by my tuner soo i hope all goes well if not ill upgrade the intercooler

how much raise in boost would i see going from 3.60 to a 3.25 if im only making 5lbs now?

Mike went though all the intercooler issues as well. I am not sure what one they used but Sansone replaced the intercooler and they gained back 3lbs of boost I believe. The bad thing about going down in size with the pulley to gain boost is you have more of a chance for belt slip. The 3.6 has much better belt wrap. Really unless you are running 13+lbs of boost it is a waste of $$ to spend that kind of $$ on a BOV or bypass.

If you want to do an 8 rib swap, I can help you with that. I researched all the parts myself . I have all the parts number to make it happen for not a lot of money. I actually have an 8 rib balancer/crank pulley here that was on my car last year. I have since switched to a 15% over drive ATI balancer.

I don't think I will get any belt slip from going 3.25 pulley I understand if I dropped to into the 2s but I doubt I will get any belt slip from a 3.25 pulley

To much as in money? It can be done for around $200.00. It's your call. IMO your going to always have some sort of slip with a 6 rib set up.

too much in labor and cash

i already ordered a new bov and i just placed an order for a 3.25 pulley

my friend is running the same set up as me except his car is a gt he is using a 2.87 pulley and he has no belt slip making 10lbs of boost and 403 rwhp

i made 426 rwhp with a draw through at 9psi with headers intake spacer h pipe tb and catback soo i can see my self hitting somewhere around 412 rwhp with the new pulley and bov

if not ill just upgrade the intercooler later on down the road

its just soo much cheaper swaping out the pulley

IDK, my car with a manual tensioner and 8 rib would get slip with a 2.95. How do you know for sure he has not gotten slip? My friend and I logged his boost with a 3 bar map sensor with his ProCharger and he was getting slip with a 3.75 or 3.80 I think they used. I just don't think spinning the SC faster to make up for lost boost is the best method. Look for a used ProCharger intercooler even, they flow well too. The pulley is cheap so thats up to you.
