Thanks man, I just ordered it from brenspeed!

If i were to do that thats the route I would take. THere is no need to get GT 500 pumps. LIke timbo said I have yet to read about reliability issues with a bap. I have talked to brenspeed personally and they have been running them for years without issues. I suppose the other guy probably has read some failures but I can assure u that there isnt one product that has not had a few failures here and there. Sometimes failures are caused by guys thinking they know to much and miss something in there install. Then the failure happens. Im willing to bet that info does not get put into the thread when it was the guys fault. and maybe he didnt know what he messed up. i just think sometime failures happen when a unproven shop does the work or a guy who at best can change oil does the work himself.

ITs just like TCI torque convertor. Some guys here would never touch the thing but brenspeed runs them in there cars and have no problems. So sometimes you have to go with what u know is proven such as a performance shop

Outceltj I couldnt agree with you more. I am also a member on the fnsweet.com forum (a roush forum) and there are tons of people running roush m90 blowers with the same mods running the bap for 3 years now with no issues. There are people pushing 500rwhp on the stock block with a bap and not having issues. I honestly dont plan on doing any more major power mods for atleast a year or two so the bap fits MY needs. Say I decide to forge the motor and do crazy horsepower mods than I'll worry about the gt500 pumps. I'm sorry the extra $1k for the gt500 pumps just to go through JDM isnt worth it. I am waiting for Tillman to call me back than I am going to call evolution and see what they can do.

I haven't read of any BAP failures and have nothing against using a BAP. I don't think its overutilizing the stock pump really. It's pretty commonplace in other industries to overdrive pumps, so long as you can keep them cool.

I went with the GT500 pumps as I didn't want to go back into the car should I want to crank up the boost beyond the 12psi I'm at.

See exactly siggy if I was planning on going with more hp in the futrue I would do the gt500 pumps, but the m90 cant get much more than 8-10psi and 450rwhp is the most i've seen come out of a car with an m90 with pullies, cams, etc.. To me $670 for pumps I dont NEED is just a waste of money.

For example the Afco dual fan heat exchanger is of coarse 10x better than the stock one, but is everyone switching out the stock one for the afco?

siggyfreud

I think the difference there is if the AFCO fails, you really aren't much as risk of blowing the motor. You're not asking it to do more than it was designed to. I personally haven't seen enough evidence to suggest the BaP is actually introducing measurable risk, but that is the argument behind it.

I get what your saying. Once I hear a problem about it than I will rip it out of my car asap but so far there has been no problems for the plenty of years its been out.

I installed the GT500 setup. Course, the factory set-up with an extra pump strapped to it died. So I would have been looking at spending a chunk anyway. A little bit extra $$ got me a plug-and-play install. New assembly was in, in less than 30 min. The wiring harness to the front took about 1 1/2 hrs because I kept it all neat and tidy. No complaints, and no regrets.
