Start up video
OK, here is a quick short little video I put together on the initial start up. Install is about 90% completed. I am waiting for the SRT ECU and then put the front end together once I am satisfied the hoses are all fit. So far no leaks and it appears to be a solid install. Kudos to RMM for quality products.

This video is 15.6 mgs long, so broadband is HIGHLY recommended.

Where did you put the BOV on yours, didn't see it but thought I heard it? On the setup Jeff did (now mine), he located it right up top between the radiator and SC piping.
Very nice pic Dave. Do you have a picture of the top of the BOV? I am interested in how it is installed into the pipe
thank you

Awesome. Thank you Dave. BTW, how does mine sound in the video compared to yours, minusing out the BOV?
I was curious of the butterfly sound and higher RPM's as if the air filter is not large enough for the application.

About the same. Here are a couple of dyno videos (only from my digital camera, not camcorder so you can't really tell).
Hmmmph, I always thought the 'butterfly sound' was from the BOV. Kind of like a pressure cooker releasing steam.

Install Apexi SFC-II unit-. Have no idea. Have factory manuals for reference.
Should be done within the next day or so. Dyno tuning will follow this week as well. Wish me luck.

if so any instal pics ?
I decided to forgo the SAFC setup and get the SRT ecu. That did not work and Mo talked me into a Greddy Emanage computer. I have been waiting patiently now on my 4th week for delivery. Will be able to update once I get it installed.

The "butterefly" sound you guys are hearing is compressor surge.Either there is no BOV installed or if there IS one installed it needs to be coming open more to get rid of the excess air.Cause when the throttle body is closed that air needs to go SOMEWHERE.
Most blower cars I have ever built had adjustable BOVs so we could "tune" it.I always set them up to blow off under vaccuum and then close under boost.That way the compressed air has somewhere to go.
It might seem weird but when the car was idleing I set the blow off to open and bleed off SOME of the pressure, then as soon as I hit gas it closes and has BOOST.
