KB and Works question !

After reading about the boost bypass on Tim's site:
http://www.timskelton.com/lightning/...ost_bypass.htm

I was wondering... Do the KB and Works blowers retain the boost bypass system?

Yes, Both blowers utilize a boost-bypass, which bypass's boost under normal driving. That is until you WOT it, then BOOM instant HP

OEM?

Do they use the Ford factory solenoid or a custom unit?

So does mine on my WORKS...


You all are thinking about the BOOST dump problem. That still is a issue no matter what Blower you have.

I don't think the 140 has the boost bypass.

The prototypes dont have the bypass. The 140 production units have hand machined Bypasses which look nice.
