vortech/ATI question
I had to trim the radiator shroud where the hose goes from the blower to the intercooler, just so the hood would close. The hood was pressing on the hose, and I didn't want it to collapse with the hood all the way shut. It fits now, but I think the hose still touches the hood, or at least is VERY close to it. My question is, how hot does the hose coming out of the blower really get, and is it going to cause problems if it is in contact with the underside of the hood? Thanks for any answers.

I had to grind away 1/2" of hood framework above my Procharger. The discharge hose / blower outlet was just a little too high.
You shouldn't have temperature problems, but I hope you're not restricting the flow by squashing the hose...

Worst case you may be seeing about 200 degrees ( probably less). You should see noo issues with temperature. Originally I had the same issue when I had an ATI intercoooler on my car. It does "squeeze" a bit but not enough to restrict the flow...
