As for D2's, the particular MAF used on them is way to sensitive to dust and oil mist and can fail, not only on the D2's but also on other vehicle like the VW's that use the same MAF.
Do yourself a favot and stay with a factory air filter for a better running engine.
Ok maybe that makes more sense the extra dirt that gets on the maf would damage it. Originally Posted by Disco Mike

I am in no way looking for a preform acne increase

Can you even tune a disco computer to run with a blower?? haha I'd imagine the 75k headgasket routine would turn into a "change with oil" timeframe at anything over 3psi lolol

- The RPI warnings against supercharging should to be taken with a grain of salt since they sell products which compete with a supercharger mod.
- If you have a 3.9 (distributor), you can adjust the timing to fit
- If you keep the boost low (<5 psi) GEMS can recompute and account for it
- If you keep the boost low, reliability is no different than a N/A engine
- If you keep the boost low, there is still a definite power increase (especially if you mod exhaust too). Depending on your goals though, it may not be enough of a boost to justify the humbug and cost of supercharging.

Certainly not the biggest waste of money for an experiment.
Im sure many have spent more on a bushgard or roofrack that ended up laying around the garage.

The partz vulturez are excited about this. The pix I saw was in a 95 Range Rover, and they operated at 4 PSI boost. 8-10, and it becomes a one trip wonder.

I know I have not taken it above 3500 rpms, accidental push of sport button and getting on highway in 3rd. Scared the heck out of me, I prefer below 3k for my driving. 3K is about 80mph in my truck.Originally Posted by drowssap

You cant always drive conservatively. You need to knock that crud off the valves and valve seats once in a while. It's like a woman. She wants to be driven hard now and then but not all the time... and even that's not down to a science so...
If it feels good and right, go for it.
