Old Side-Mount Magnacharger Problem!!!
Hey guys,
as you may know, I just installed a sidemount magnacharger and have been having problems with it. The blower was completely rebuilt just 2000 miles ago so it shouldn't be that. I went to the MAN, Nelson today and he help out a TON but it is still not right. It feels a little faster than stock, but not much. And my IAT's are 150-170 degrees
Its only 92 degrees out here, and those temps are coasting on the highway going 60-70mph.
I am installing the boost gauge today to see how many #'s I am getting, but why would the IAT's be so high?
Thanks, any help is much appreciated!

Im thinking maybe the belt is slipping???
As for the IAT's, I really dont know. Smaller pulley=more boost=higher IAT's. I need to get that figured out before I get the 3.0" pulley (I plan to)
I also do have a CAI.
It just dosnt seem like it is putting out alot of power down low. I can floor it from a stop and only get a chirp ant then it feels like I have Torque Management (I got most of it removed)
WHen I floor it from a 10-20 roll it feels like the power is there, thats when I get the 3lbs boost.

Well, if the air temp sensor has not been relocated, then its in the mass air flow sensor and is BEFORE the compressor. So those temps are from where ever your CAI is pulling air from not after it is compressed. More boost won't change the reading your seeing. All I can guess is either belt slip like you say, or your pulley is to big, or the blower is not sealing properly internally. Just because it was rebuilt 2000 miles ago, doesn't mean it was done right. It sound like your just not getting much boost .
