Announcing TopgunZ ACE Supercharger Kit!

You can't get the CSS or RJM closed deck's in tight enough to keep the cylinders from moving. They move. I knew that the first of 2020. The SOHO mod

Default Boost Help Needed

Hey Guys,

When I first had my kit installed I was seeing 11-12 psi of boost on my gauge and now the max I get is 10 psi. Not sure if I have a boost leak or getting belt slip. I did notice belt residue on the hood. Not sure if that is normal or not. I had my first SC service at 2500 miles and they installed a new belt at that time. I have about 4000 miles on the kit since then. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You've got bad belt slip. From the looks of the residue on the hood, it appears to be coming from the serpentine side. Is that correct? Do you have Togunz's extra tensioner pulley?

When I close the hood it appears that it would be coming from the belt in front of the bracket closest to the nose of the car. Not sure if I have Topgunz's extra tensioner pulley. RT Tuning ordered the kit and did my install. Maybe you can tell from the pics?

Correct. The belt in the front is the serpentine side. You do have the extra tensioner pulley also (see the pulley I circled in red). I'm not sure why you're getting so much slip. Have you contacted Aaron (Topgunz) to see what he thinks?

Thank you for your input. I have not reached out to Aaron yet, but I will.

There are 2 length belts that are used with the a2a kit. Your's might be the one that's a little longer. Changing to the shorter one may help. Depends on if your stock tensioner is maxed out. I'm amazed that you're getting slip at such a low psi. In the 4 years I was supercharged, I never had belt slip on the serpentine side and I was running close to 17 psi for a few of those years and 19.5 until I blew my motor.
