Installing Imagine Automotive Super Charger on my 1998 2.5 Boxster

[pepe82]

Couple of questions (if answered in the previous posts, my bad).
- Are you going to run with the stock injectors and fuel pump?
Or have you upgraded these?

At this time I will be using stock injectors and fuel pump. I can always upgrade if I need to. But most of what I've read says that it won't be necessary with the amount of boost I anticipate.

Been traveling, so just now getting back to the SC install.

To keep temps in control, I decided to remove the headers so I could wrap them with an exhaust wrap.

The tie wraps are temporary. Replacing them with hose clamps.

100ft was just enough to wrap the headers and the new Fabspeed 200 cell cats.

Did the same wrap mod. to my Boxster last summer.

I would strongly recomend to wrap the cat part, I believe it's more vital than the midpipe section.

Be sure to have the injectors cleaned & tested 1st so you can work with a known quantity.

What differences are you guys noticing with the wrapped exhaust systems?

I will let you know once the car is running again. I will also be wrapping the cats with another thermal protector. The idea is to significantly reduce engine compartment temps.

Cool.

Faster (=cooler) flowing exhaust fumes also give a bit more power.
But like he said, main idea for me too was to reduce the temps, so s#it won't melt.

More progress today. Finished getting all the pipes installed. But now I have an issue with the headers. Using only 1 header????

Thanks. This may be a dumb question, but they have to be removed to do that?
