Possible resolutions with Supercharger problems

[Meatman]

Talked with C&L and Paxton today regarding my backfires and surging with the C&L 73mm and the Novi 1000.

C&L said that I have two 'things', first the MAF is two close to the inlet of the blower which results in the backfires (which I get when I let off the throttle at 2500rpm+) and the surging, secondly there is no Bypass valve to relieve the pressure resulting from a closed throttle @ high RPM....the other reason I backfire. C&L suggested the movement of the MAF into the fender to increase the distance between the MAF and Blower inlet. Secondly....put a bypass valve on.

Paxton agreed that movement of the 'aftermarket meter' should be done, they disagreed with the bypass valve due to the lower boost of the 1000.

Anyway, I went to home depot, picked up some piping and designed a new pipe to relocate my MAF.

What'ya think?....no comments about the bar codes (still there in case I have to take the parts back)


Here is the "stock" paxton setup for the MAF to inlet pipe




Here is my attempt at the re-routed "superpipe"
