Re: changed valve covers
I hope you didn't put that blower on a motor with 130000 miles on it. Blowers don't like used engines.

Re: changed valve covers
[QUOTE=special-K;2591607]I thought blowers wanted lower compression.
With a blower you start with low compression and as you add boost you increase compression. A older motor cannot usually stand up to the added compression. My boat 9.5 to 1 compression before boost and 320 HP With 7 PSI of boost its over 500 HP. You put a blower on an older engine you better make sure it has a healthy lower end and good pistons.

Re: changed valve covers
The engine bay with the blower motor is missing its master cylinder. Whats up with that?

Looking at the radiator I'd say it's a older vehicle and the master cylinder is under the floor
