Yes for me it is. With my cams, headers and the 2.55 M90 VMP pulley the BAP was necessary per BBR to make sure I never run out of fuel with the stock pump. BBR has tuned a ton of these cars with my mods and the M90. They are a Roush certified installer as well. As you know with F/I, you go too lean and boom!

But, if your engine is stock and your not upgrading the M90 pulley then the BAP is not necessary. In your case, you won't need it.

 

Thanx for the help...I'm pulling up the wiring harness as we speak. I should have my PCM back in time for xmas..

 

I see you have the Steeda CAI and so do I. I'm going to be running my MAF sensor at the Steeda intake port instead of the Roush intake tube. It will save me from having to reroute that harness. Of course I'm getting a custom tune so thats no problem. I was going to suggest that to you but I'm sure Roush's programming of your ECM will want to see the MAF at the Roush intake tube.

 

Nothing like paying money to "pros" !!!! Never....

 

^Hey what can I say, I started this thread.

Sometimes things go smooth, sometimes they don't (that's life). At the present moment I just did NOT have the time to do this myself. The dealer gave me a great price & at the thought of having this thing looking at me until April of next year, I hit the go button & had someone else do it. At the end the dealer made mistakes, but so did Roush. So I'm not letting anyone off the hook on this. I'm working on getting some money back from the dealer.

Before I write following statement, I just wan to state this WAS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, SO NOT FLAMING, JUST FACTS. Roush was no better than the dealer.

1. I emailed-NO RESPONSE
2. Left 4 messages with a call back #.-NO RESPONSE
3. PM'ed both Jack Jr. & Bill (I think that's what the other guys name is) on this website-NO RESPONSE
(I have proof of all the above)

I did install the blower on my 90 & had minor things here & there. If I had to do it again, not sure.....I definitely execised my patience...LOL

By the way, you guys will love it (M90), big diff!

 

^^^ I do not believe the message system works as my calls have never been returned either. As far as getting the PCM calibrated, if Roush calibrated it it would have their sticker on it. Does your PCM have the sticker?

 

Yes sir. I was just blown away by there non-responsiveness by Roush (I kind of expected the run around from the dealer, but not Roush).

 

They are all the same. once they get your money they do not want to hear from you again.

 

Wow, I didn't even think of this..When I go back to my Steeda, I will have to reroute it again...SOB....

 

Man, I had one issue with my whipple kit (which turned out not to be an issue at all) and the guys at whipple actually answered the phone and helped me out. The belt they sent me with my kit didn't match the belt size listed in the instructions, but it turned out that the manufacturers of the belts measured them differently. I've had bad experiences with dealers/manufacturers as well. I called spec once to aska simple question about my clutch install and before I got the entire question out the tech was on the defensive, assuming my clutch was defective and that I was calling to complain. In reality the clutch was fine. What that told me is that their clutches must have a high failure rate and that I was one of the lucky ones. After reading all of the spec horror stories on the web, I've pretty much confirmed as much. They're are good manufacturers and bad ones. Sorry you had a bad experience with such an expensive upgrade, but all's well that ends well!
