Default boost bypass mod???

does anyone know anything about this. If it accually doesn't anything. I was on rpmoutlet and they gave instructions for free for this mod and it does something i was read slightly on it. Just wanted to know if any 03-04 cobra owner has done it and noticed any sort of difference.

What is a boost bypass valve?

The bypass valve is integrated in the supercharging system. When low engine power is required, the bypass allows air to enter the engine without passing through the supercharger. The supercharger bypass valve operates in the following manner:

* Under normal engine operating condition vacuum is supplied to the bypass valve. The valve opens, diverting excess airflow back into the air plenum. This prevents the supercharger from “cavitating.â€
1. Cavitating causes reduced performance, increased temperature, and poor fuel economy.
* At high engine demands, vacuum is removed from the bypass valve causing it to close. This directs all airflow from the supercharger to the intake manifold.
* The supercharger boost (SCB) solenoid is used to control intake manifold vacuum to the vacuum bypass actuator. The PCM transmits an output signal to the SCB solenoid, which activates the solenoid to bypass vacuum when the engine is under maximum boost, reducing the boost pressure by up to 3 PSI.
* Click-On Printer image for Supercharger airflow diagram. Click-Here for Instructions

Purpose of a "Boost Bypass Modification"

The purpose of a "Boost Bypass Modification" is to supply continuous boost from your supercharger when engine is under maximum boost limits set by the factory. When acceleration exceeds factory limits (8 psi).

With our boost bypass modification, you will now be able to keep your boost at the maximum level when under WOT usage. The term “boost bypass†is a bit misleading by all those dealers advertising this kit for a price. Its true name should be, WOT bypass eliminator kit . . . This modification does not effect normal engine operation and is designed for modifying boost bypass at WOT only. (WOT= wide open throttle)

Thats what it says

Boost leaks down in the Eaton.

It won't make a noticable difference on a stock Cobra, but put a pulley on and try it, you'll see the difference.

Why don't you mod your Cobra yellow?
