Just a side note, when I installed the 9# pully, i tryed everything to get
it to get 9PSI, but never saw more than 6... so I said, hell, lets take the
little filter off, and see what happens, BAM, 9PSI.... I'm runnin a larger
cone now, and just the 2 90 degree elbows, that flex tube crap makes me
loose boost as well...
