Just got finished a jlt to roush cai swap

[bmyles]

Not big news here guys but I figured I would share. I just got through swapping my jlt for a roush cai on my car with a vmp Tvs and I ll tell you there's no comparison between the to. The roush fits like a glove and there's support brackets on it and a flex joint to pick up enging movement . I was kinda pissed I had to spend $500 on it but it's a very well designed kit and you can see where the price difference comes from. Just thought I would share

I think the Roush looks better and took off the stock Roush airbox for it. I like how I can hear the blower now. In a high HP car the JLT will probably make more power cause of the size but I'm not looking to run 9's with mine, at least not now

Just ordered my roush CAI for my tvs a couple hours ago

So guys for the sake of honesty, I just had my car out for the first time since the swap and it feels slower .

Pulley, exhaust, timing?

Did you get the tune revised? You went from a 127mm MAF housing to a 110mm housing. That might have something to do with it.

Yes I had justin send me a new tune, it's a 85mm pulley with cat deletes ang gt500s. I did't think it would make a difference at my boost level but there is.

Glad to hear the Roush setup fits good. I removed my heat shield from my JLT setup, seems to work fine for me now.

Btw, is that your car I see for sale on Kijiji?

Lol you have a hot air intake now. Yep that's my car you should buy it

 

[mebcop]

From day to day, my car feels faster/slower. I would be very surprised if your car lost power. People run the stock airbox up to 10psi with very little loss of power.

Does it run less boost with the smaller tube? I doubt it's that much of a restriction.

I never looked at my gauge, it was stupid hot yesterday mabey that was it. I am going to do a data log later today and make sure everything is good. I am only at 8psi I did't figure on a change but whatever at least now it fits right .

My intake temps haven't changed a bit. But I don't think the heat shield was sealing off any "hot air" anyways due to my aftermarket hood

 

[bmyles]

I was at the no heat shield stage to for a bit.

Stupid hot was likely the cause then.
