Wow Some great info here!

Yap your right i removed my A/C Do to not working and i needed some space to work on my car

Ive Got a sunroof and power everything so i just cruise around town on hot days and get tanned through the sunroof:D

Thanks for the pic, Does That bracket just act as a ground, You didnt have to extend any wires to move it did you? Also ill be using a blitz 50/50

Im not looking For amazing performance But if i did want to go up to 14 psi, is a fuel pump install difficult?

And when you say create more knock, am i creating more knock by simply slamming a TD04 in there witth an IC?

uh aaron knows about knock,, i have no idea.

with the backet, yes it does act as a ground so you do need it attached together.
and you dont need to add any more wires to the ignition to extend it, that would blow. :shock:
the most you will have to do is un-ravel the wires from their tangle nest in your engine bay :lol: and make a hole in your firewall with a drill, to mount the bracket in the new location. mount it where the TMIC wont rub againts it also...

A fuel pump install is easy. Some people said that their lines broke/cracked. Mine didn't so I guess that probably helped.

The TD04 really isn't much bigger than the VF11, though it'll hold more boost to redline. You shouldn't be creating a whole lot of knock if you turn up the boost with an intercooler. You're going to hit fuel cut at 12psi if you don't install a fuel cut defender though.

I know the Td04 isnt much bigger, but its newer, more reliable and is a nice little refresh for my car

Oh of course. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, I'm just saying that it's not much bigger than a VF11 so running ~14psi on it should be the same on a VF11.

There should be small gains in the higher psi range than the vf, not huge
