Help installing the MASC

[FATHER]

Hi guys, recently i buy a MASC, there not an instruction manual, so i see the DASC info in the forum Notebook section, is similar but not equal, so i have any questions:

1. the hose in the valve cover have a hose to the oem inteke manifold, the MASC not have a fitting to it, i see in the site pictures a hose conected and go down the blower, but dont see where is conect, the question, for what is the hose in the valve cover? I can put a breatter ovethere?

2. The air pump is realy necesary to cars motor or is only to clean the air when the car is cold?

3. My MASC have grease on the internal pieces, i know that is for protection, and is burn when the motor start. I need to replace sparks plugs until the gas burn? is not bad? or better clean those grease?

1. You can run a breather in place of this hose, although you might have some idle problems. The DASC kit uses an adaptor that connects this hose back into the intake before the supercharger.

2. If you have a catalytic converter, you need to keep the air pump. The air pump blows extra air into the exhaust when it's cold to get the cat to light up right away.

3. There should not be grease on anything. Be careful what you use to clean it. Can you post pics of the grease and the supercharger rotors?

I can't tell what you mean about installing the T for the vent hose off the valve cover. You want to run the T BEFORE the supercharger, like right after the throttle body. If you run a T on that line, you'll also need to run a one-way check valve so only pressure from the valve cover gets released into the throttle body.

Are there scrape marks on the supercharger rotors? Or do they look brand new? Try to wipe some grease off and take another picture. Also, is there any wobble in the nose drive? Spin the pulley see if it feels tight.

is little tight, and looks news, with the "T" i refeer to conect the hose of valve cover and the hose of brakes boxter at the same fitting

Yes, that should work. Just make sure you run a one-way check valve so it only lets pressure out of the valve cover vent.

i can use a pcv ? in wath direction i put it? (ex. the air go out of the valve cover to the intake manifold, right? so i need the air in one direction only, from valve cover to intake manifold??

Yes, that is correct.

Or you think the breather is best for me?Also i go to clan the grease with a clothe only, one of my friend suggest to me to spin the blower before installing and clean with a machine...is that good idea, or only clean the grease an install it??other question, the TI tb use water hose??(sorry for the question, i'm in work so i don't look the motor?

You guys should probably meet at an agreed time and talk in chat.

Don't use any cleaner on the supercharger to get the grease off, I don't really know why its on there. I don't think it's going to be good for the motor though because it's all going to get sucked in there. Call Joe and ask him why he covered it in grease.

What do you mean does the TI TB use water hose? Do you coolant? No, it doesn't run coolant in the TB.

I might be available later on tonight. I'm at a customer site, so I can only check the forum when I have some down time.

thanks for all ifo dustent(you are really good!!!)i buy a chilton manual at Pep Boys(front of my work) i read much before i go to home. O... what you think is better, mount all charger parts out of car or moun separately(ex. the intake manifold to head, then the blower , then the trotle or istall the MASC enterely to the head.?
