Seriously Boosted
I figured that there would be no better way to start the new year than installing my new VMP TVS blower. Snapped a few pics with my cell phone along the way.....
Here's what I started with.....
First step is to remove the CAI, throttle body and elbow on the blower. Also slip the blower belt off
Then disconnect the vac lines on the back of the blower, EGR, and remove the 4 bolts on the fuel rail to get it out of the way, and finally the 10 bolts that hold the blower down. Then simply lift the blower off the engine

Here is the bottom view of the stock blower on the left and the TVS on the right. There are 2 dowel pins in the bottom of the stock blower you will want to transfer to the TVS.
Then, simply set the new blower back in place of the stock unit. Bolt it down, hook up the EGR and vac lines on the rear, and reinstall the belt.
I know that some of you that have never attempted a blower swap before are probably saying "NO WAY its that simple". Well, before today, I had never done a blower swap either.... I had a friend of mine helping me, and we are both fairly good turning wrenches (on all my cars and on his 1600HP turbo monster). From start to finish, the whole process took about an hour, and that was working at a pretty slack pace. It was incredibly simple and straight forward, almost like Ford KNEW that people were going to be doing this lol.
Anyway, I cant say enough about the fit & finish of the VMP unit. Absolutely perfect... It slides right into place with absolutely ZERO modifications, which is one of the reasons I selected the VMP TVS in the first place. I dont want to mess with changing motor mounts, clearance issues on the firewall, etc... Nice job VMP!! Now the next step will be to get the injectors modified, and bolt up the new ported elbow TB and JLT Big Air CAI, then head to the dyno, and finally go the track.
