Default Re: Needswings Intake

My theory:

The car will disengage the supercharger clutch if the coolant temps are too high. (IC pump) By disconnecting the battery, you could be killing the high temp codes, and then it re-engages the supercharger.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

Re-tested both intakes for a second time and I was able to replicate the problem. It runs fine when I disconnect the battery for 20 mins and go for a drive.

Drove for 30 mins first in the city then on the highway. Once I got off the highway it instantly crapped out. Im wondering if this is due to a faulty sprintbooster, I remember some people mentioned when they got off the highway they would experince loss of power.

Also I waited a couple hours, started up the car and its still having problems.

If it runs fine after I disconnect the battery then it can't be IC issue related could it?
