Removing supercharger

I might be rebuilding my supercharger (vortech) soon. It's my daily driver so the plan is to put back in the stock injectors, hook up the maf and air intake to the throttle body and set the programming back to stock.

Can I leave the boost-a-pump wired in? My understanding is it only kicks in when it sees boost of 3-4 psi. Running stock I shouldn't see that and it shouldn't kick in correct?

Correct, you will be fine leaving the BAP hooked up.

Remember to install the belt tensioner and stock belt back on too. Need to completely remove the bracket for the blower. Can probably cap the inlet/outlet of the piping/fmic if you don't want to remove all the piping/fmic.

Oh yeah, forgot about the belt tensioner. I'll have to pick one up. Anyone know the correct part number for the tensioner by the water pump?

You should be able to leave the larger injectors on if you have a tune that accounts for them.

Can someone post a pic of the correct tensioner pulley? I don't have mine so I can't compare. I see two different styles listed on the web.

Thanks,
Larry
