Default Vacuum pump

Is there any way to mount a vacuum pump with centri and keep the ac compressor?

Maybe if you delete PS, otherwise I don't know where you would mount it.

I don’t even know how big they are but... the only way I think it may be possible, would be if you mounted it so the pump housing would be faced towards the front of the car, and the pulleys facing the motor.

Possibly around the alternator

That would probably work as well but you would have to make damn sure whatever mounting brackets you use are aligned properly.

I will be honest, I don't know if you could mount it elsewhere without removing the ac. Unless you completely redo the alternator bracket, remove power steering, then you could probably mount it down low on the driver side.

I made a bracket and installed on the otherside and used a gz motorsport idle pulley to connect the belt.

I have that electric vacuum pump on my car. I put the power to a toggle switch To limit the pumps run time. I Activate the pump in the staging lanes or right before I’m going to get a foot full of boost on the street. I also added a -12 into my passengers side valve cover into a vacuum can. The vacuum pump is tied into each valve cover with a -8 line.

Do you happen to have a sensor to know how much vacuum it’s pulling?

Pete I believe that kit comes with a manual relief like the GZ setup I bought from you..

From what I have seen though, it doesn't have great reviews. Not sure how those people use it though. I have just seen most electric pumps to be noisy and fail quickly.
