Hello Guys,
Trying to see if anybody has ran into the same problem. I just installed a vortech V3-JT supercharger stage 2 on my 2018 mustang GT and I keep getting these codes stating that it’s rich and the car is horrible at idle. Tuner lowered fuel and it got a bit better but it’s still giving codes and idle is still rough. There is plenty of white smoke coming out the exhaust. Let’s see if tuner lowers gas again after sending him my idle log.

Your PCV is not routed correctly.

Also make sure your tuner has all your correct modifications info.

Would you happen to have a picture of how it’s suppose to be routed?? Because I’ve checked and it all looks good to me.

Just vent both sides to atmosphere and cap the intake manifold. The way you have it now it's an unmetered air leak and most likely causing your issue.

That filter is a restriction as well and they are known for coming apart and ruining the blower. Use either a USA made K&N, not the chrome one or the BMS filter. Better yet the vortech intake tube with the JLT filter makes more power then either of them.

This is what you mean?? “Picture”
Yes I need to change that filter but for some reason I don’t have the space available to install the vortech tubing it doesn’t fit at all.

Yes that is what I mean.

The filter tube isn't fitting because you didn't drill and cut the upper radiator mounts moving it forward about an inch.
