Vacuum will be lower because you have a blower pushing air into the intake. Even at idle speed the SC will push more air than the engine would normally breathe in and that is why it will run crappy until you get the correct tune.

Be patient and don't rush things at this point.

Yes, the vacuum/boost line to the regulator will keep the pressure at the set point when boost builds.

Your SC does sound different than mine. At least what I can hear through your video. They are noisy at low rpm. Once the hood is closed you can't hear it very much.

What do you mean by different? haha. I have some belt slip cold, but once it warms up it goes away for the most part. I will be ordering another SC belt since there is a small amount of cracking in the ribs. Is there another spot I could get sound for you to compare?

I have no intention of stomping on it or even driving it hard by any definition of the word. I want to test the driveability so that I can be somewhat confident in the ability of the car to make the drive up to Charlotte to SOHO for the tune.

By running terrible, could you be more specific? Again, I have no intention of even breaking 3500 RPM if I can help it until a professional tune is done.

Thank you!
