I went to the track last night with my new 8#er, something is not exactly right. Could someone explain about the boost bypass and how that you know that you need it. I know that it does it when you spin the tires, so after doing a burnout or spinning them over in my case. When you let out of it and go up to stage is it still trying to bypass?

Thanks

Stan: What I think you mean is the boost dump, not 'by-pas'. All you need to do is to disconnect the boost dump solenoid. Do a Search for pics. It's on the driver's side of the eng. and takes just a few seconds to unplug it. Then you won't have a loss of boost after spinning the tires.

Ive read a lot about this and I'm still not sure about doing it, but maybe someone can tell me. Is there a bypass and a dump? Or is it only a dump and everyone calls it a bypass? Thanks

 

I did disconnect but when the truck shifted it didnt come back into the boost as much. Sounds like the next thing I need is an aftermarket boost guage.

 

This kit is designed to allow your engine's PCM to continue to control your engine smoothly, with not interruption of boost output from your supercharger

The bypass valve is a release which vents off pressure in a rapid de-acceleration situation. When the Supercharger is producing boost and you abruptly let off the gas, closing the throttle plates, the boost has nowhere to go (also known as compressor surge) kind of hard on everything. The Bypass helps relieve this and also helps smooth out your idle. It is also helpful in building up boost faster, and as a bonus it helps to prevent parasitic power loss. Under idle or normal driving (vacuum) the valve is open. When it sees a boost signal it closes.
