what is this for VP44 Stealth Pump Cover Kit i saw this on a web site and i am woundering is this thing necessary?

 

No it's not necessary. It does offer a clean way to tap the pump wire.

 

It was designed as way to pierce the pump wire without leaving the tell-tell hole and voiding engine warranty.

They no longer need to see the hole to void the warranty.

Not to mention that most VP44 equipped trucks are out of warranty, or very close to being out of warranty.

IMHO, not worth it anymore, just solder that sucker.

kool thanks guys i was just woundering about that. also another question I just hooked up the quadzila commander and i hooked it up all right thank God. my question is the boost shows zero at idle but when i floor it it jumps up what is it suppose to show when i am driving on the Highway, is it suppose to jump around when i floor it and let go of the fuel?

 

Zero boost at idle is normal. Most say hwy driving not towing stock is 8-10psi, not on the throttle just cruising. the gauge jumping while on the go peddle to me says everything is working just fine.

Good luck.

Edit.

reread you post and your getting boost reading just sitting in park flooring the truck? Or are you in gear holding the breaks?

 

I do beta testing so the stealth cover is perfect for me, as we are unhooking and rehooking to the pump wire fairly often, and I want a secure connection.

I was actually installing mine last night, and of course, i drop, and lose the freakin security bit

 

cool thanks guys for yalls help

 

Jump around....no. Jump up at WOT.... sure. Good test is boost on level road with cruise control at 70mph. As stated 8-10 psi. Better test is what reading do you get at WOT. May peak but should level off at 20-22 psi.
You Automatic...or manual tranny?

Automatic and at wot it jumps at up around 20 or so i have not seen it level off in the 20's yet. i have driven for a while at wot dont ask how fast i was going but it was for a while and i did not see it level off. what does that mean?

 

Without a 'Box' or a boost fooler, you should hit max allowable boost on a stock 01.... 20-22 psi. If not reaching that high...may be an air leak. If going higher....wastegate not working and truck will defuel (I believe).

Duck TexMex. Spring is here.

spring is here do they do that when it is spring?

 

Moore has a very high tornado risk.

Could be the first sign of a weak LP. Don't let it fry your IP.
