No, you have to grind/remove the sound cover to install the pump and or new line.

Dunno, didn't try it. I doubt it, though. You can see why it needs the spacer.

Hey Wanna, any feel for a mileage difference when locking out the boost enrichment?
It would be interesting to deactivate the bypass with a hobbs switch at 10 psi or so, maybe use a double throw relay piggybacking the water injection and or intercooler sprayer. It would probably feel like hitting the nitrous switch on a gasser!

With the ground AFC lever I don't expect any mileage improvement. It would help mileage on a truck with a stock AFC lever, but the truck would be a dog until you flipped the switch.

I don't like the "nitrous switch" feel, that's why I spent the money on the progressive controller for the water/meth. I had thought about putting the water/meth and valet on the same switch, but I decided I wanted the flexibility of 2 switches.

At this altitude my truck bogs and msokes at tip in but when the boost finally builds it's like and old Honda Elsinore. I would like a flatter powerband, but that would be difficult up here. Out air density equivilent is often 10,000ft becausr it's so dry. I think spraying the intercooler and water/meth injection will be a real kick in the pants, at least momentarily intil the clutch enters another dimension.
