I could not get this thing to work so I'm taking it to my shop. Got as far as I could with the installation. Thanks for all the help guys.
2.9 Whipple install questions?
- Thread starter 10thsilversnk
- Start date
It will involve a vise and possibly some heat!
I assume you have the battery out, yes?
Sounds like a good time to do an EGR delete.
UPDATE and Thank you!
So after many hours and frustration on the installing my Whipple, we finished it yesterday with dyno numbers and two tunes. I want to personally thank Chris at Dyno Edge in Albuquerque, Van at Revan Racing as he always responds to my emails with sounds advice, and the guys on here that also helped me. This was my first swap and I learned a great deal. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I ended up doing an EGR delete because the tube would not line up.
I made 700.68 hp and 651.24 torque at 18.20 lbs of boost. This was with a 2.75 pulley and stock lower.

Yeah sorry Tob I didn't respond. I did have it out.
I installed an EGR tube twice on my '09. Both times proved to be a bit of a challenge. The first time was installing the tube Whipple supplied with my FRPP/Whipple kit and the second time was when I removed my original exhaust manifolds and replaced the with FRPP's shorty headers. With the battery removed, I found that I could slip a short length of 2" x 4" into the car and then use a prybar against the face of the wood. Worked perfectly.
I tried a number of times but found that if I attached the tube most of the way (but not completely) at the top of the tube, that I was able to manipulate the bottom of the tube with a bar that allowed me to get the threads started on the nut/manifold connection.

Nice numbers. Where'd you get the pulley and for how much?
I bought the blower and pullies from and member on this site.
Sorry for the delayed response, I don't come over to this forum often. I had to go back and check my install thread... I had forgotten that there was a supplied EGR tube in the FR750 kit. I used the new tube.
what other mods do you have, ill be doing the same swap but with a 3" pully and long tubes w/or x pipe and a CJmono blade and a jlt127mm cai also will have a boost a pump and either id725s or id1000s(if i can sell my 725s)
I have all the cooling mods, boost a pump 20v, or x, Whipple 168mm mono blade, 127 JLT, 170 degree t-stat the rest is suspension. I made 654 with the 3.0 pulley but I don't have headers. That was at 16psi.
