Default 18 PSI

I am going to try to get 18PSI out of my Vortech S-trim. In doing so what do I need in the blow-off category? Would the "Mondo" blow off valve work? I don't know much about this. Thanks.

you're not going to get 18psi out of your S trim. don't bother. the blower falls on it's face at 16psi over 5500rpm.

Besides the whole "18 PSI issue" isn't the vortech typically setup as a draw through system?

LoL, I was thinking maybe he meant bypass as well. But then again, if he's trying to run 18 PSI, why not throw a BOV on there for the hell of it. Add a nice 200 dry shot and he's good to go!

If 16 is all I can get than I am fine woth that. With that said do I still need to upgrade the BYPASS?

Mondo bypass would be a good choice at that PSI. What kind of intercooling/meth injection you planning on?

I have the Vortech aftercooler setup already. What other parts are required with the Mondo bypass valve?
