I was messing around with a few cars tonight and my car sounded funny.. I was far away from home so I figured before something breaks im going to go home.. I get home after about a 30 minute drive and notice the line blew off the supercharger bypass valve. Being that amount of time could I have hurt anything or am I ok????


Thanks
Nick

 

No, you didnt hurt anything, you just has a vacume leak is all. and you wouldnt have seen any boost. Hook it back up and you'll be ok.

 

eh... i saw boost.. thats for sure.. but it was off and my car was idiling for awhile.. i dunno......

 

Not sure how you could have seen boost if the vacume line wasnt even on the bypass valve. IF that line isnt there there no way that valve will close.

 

i know on my ati setup vacuum keeps the valve open, not closed. When you unplug the line the valve jams shut. I doubt you hurt anything though, let off the throttle while boosting at all? that would throw a bunch of boost at the throttle plates...

 

hey you... shhhh.. vacume holds the valve open.. dur.. and i was only seeing like 10 psi.. not my 12.. my SC is pretty powerful...

 

not to hi-jack the thread but hey mean lt-1, where you from in jax? I'm a j-ville resident myself

 

Your correct, Sorry I had it backwards.
