I love my Whipple.

[gqneon]

I bolted my Whipple stage 2 on my 2015 GT convertible last week and have been tooling around town with it for a few hundred miles this last several days.

I just wanted to say, man I love my Whipple.

Bad ass.

Such an awesome setup. We've been running and selling their blowers since 2005. Whipple for Life!!!

Woohoo....congrats dude. Mine just arrived and am waiting for time to install it. Any deviations from the instructions I should know about before installing?

My version of the installation manual was pretty close but there’s going to be out of date instructions in there in a couple of places. There’s a couple of head scratching moments in there but it doesn’t take much to work through. The install is pretty straightforward, I did my oil pump gears and crank sprocket at the same time so putting the blower on was really just part of reassembling the engine anyway so no big deal.

It doesn’t say anything about how to run the hose for the upgraded heat exchanger and if you have adaptive cruise control you’re in for some creative fitment issues and intermittent functionality.

There’s a part about the air snorkel that shows it has bolts and predrilled holes but it doesn’t.

The sizes listed for wrenches for the fuel rail assembly are wrong by a lot.

Have a set of 4/5/6mm long ball Allen keys, seriously.

There were two screws for the side of the reservoir pump mounting that weren’t listed in the bag labels or packing slip so I had to use the next closest thing.

The reservoir fill neck fitment to the closed air box lends itself to very easily pinching or kinking the rubber hose to the reservoir (its incredibly close to the fender well sheet metal and bends the hose. ) I bought a reinforced 5/8” ID 135-degree bend silicone hose and used it between the filler neck and fender well and it works like a champ . It also helped me readjust my airbox so it wasn’t a force fit and got the lid to line up manipulating the reservoir hose and vent line with that adjustment.

I’ve got bags full of bolts I didn’t need and some of them are really large which made me triple check my installation thinking I skipped something.

When you put your o-rings on the between the blower and lower manifold have good quality clean grease to keep them stuck in place. Ask me how frustrating it is to be crouched down standing inside of the engine bay on the shock towers solo carrying the blower and to see the o-ring pop off one corner right before setting it down lol...

There’s probably other things but I’m not thinking of them at the moment. It’s a pretty complete guide. I’d say the procharger manual was more complete and thought out, but the Whipple one is good and will get you to the end.

The only call I made to Whipple tech was when my reservoir pump wouldn’t turn on and he said that was another change not listed in the instructions was that the pump won’t come on with run power on unless the engine is running , so I couldn’t bleed the pump without starting the car.

I think thats it... maybe. It’s a great product though. It drives like stock and has torque to spare. The tensioner and belt routing system is hands down better than stock and WAY BETTER than the “turn this jackshsft and loosen and tighten this nut “ untensioned setup of the procharger stage 2 I had. That was a belt ruining beast. I keep waiting for belt wear or issues or something. But instead, it just works and works really well.

I used my iPhone to type this so sorry in advance for typos.

Thanks for the howto on how to fix the hose kinking problem at the reservoir fill neck.
I've ordered the hose you identified, and will be replicating the fix you outlined.
