VMP G3r Head Unit Install

[Bahndvr]

I've search here for information concerning the install but there isn't much, so I'll share my experience. I wanted to write about my VMP Gen3r head unit install off the Roush/Ford Racing TVS platform anyway.
In no way am I bashing anyone. I understand modin' and I have excepted the risk.
The VMP pieces came with bolts, gaskets and stuff to complete the install.
For the install its self you can't really beat the videos that are out there. Study them and annotate the torque specs. I took my time doing the install.
Now for the issues I've had:
First, I had to completely remove the K-brace and grind it flush to the body.
Then the vacuum line from the solenoid to the CAI is to short.
The stock serpentine belt would not slide over the 85mm blower pulley.
Noticed the hose from the expansion tank to the intercooler is up against the blower.
Then after a couple of days saw where the hood liner clip was rubbing against the blower inlet (I did find supplement instructions referring to this, but I already bent it up).

So, . . . . .how do you like it?

 

[Bahndvr]

Love it. It's not to be lugged under 2000 rpm. +2500 rpm power comes on and stays there til redline.

I think you mean K-brace or cowl brace.

 

[Bahndvr]

The brace that was cut when they put the supercharger in.
Not the brace they threw away because it no longer fits with the supercharger on.

What does this mean you cut the k member to be flush with the body?

Im totally lost.

 

[Bahndvr]

K-brace. I have corrected it

That's good to hear that you're happy with it. I still have my strut tower brace hanging in my garage as a decoration.
