magnacharger sc installation problems

[HGW]

Klaus---they do make one--many companies do----the key is to get the one that works best with the mag---I am not at all happy with the aux pump.

Hence, at SEMA, one of my team members will focus on this.

The KB boost a pump, as I understand it, merely increases voltage to the stock pump in order to increase it's output.

Ken:

Please check on that pump you have. I will be surprised if LPE did not put on an aux pump.

How is it going??? Did you find a cause yet????

H2mildandwild,

I have a whipple SC and they use the predator programer just fine??? Why do you say the predator and SC is a no no?

[HGW]

Patriot:

A predator programmer can be used to tune a SC. If Whipple uses the predator to install a tune for their sc, that is fine.

What I was saying is that my Magneson was tuned using a Superchips programmer that came with a specific tune for the Magneson.

When I bought my predator, I did not install their tune because the predator tune that came with my predator was intended for a non supercharged engine. I have just used the predator for other changes thus far.

However, a predator programmer can be used to install/modify a tune on a supercharged vehicle. The person doing it has to know what the hell they are doing. The Whipple folks may just be using the predator to install their standard sc tune on vehicles that have their sc installed. I am not that familiar with what comes with the Whipple to tune he vehicle after installation.

So, what I was trying to convey is that if you have had a Magneson installed, the proper tune for that specific sc would have been done using the Superchips tuner provided as part of the Magneson kit. Then if you buy a predator off the shelf, do not install that tune because it may conflict with specific sc tune already installed by the Magneson installer using Superchips. Certainly, anyone can use the predator to modify the Magneson sc tune already installed but you have to know what you are doing. Magneson will not warranty a tune that is different from the tune they provided via Superchips.

Please feel free to provide more info and I will answer more questions for you.

I will be away for the week of Nov 1-6.
