: How would this set-up run?

Setting my truck up to run a PPE Hot +2 stacked with a VA 180. Installing a Kennedy single lift pump and shimmed FRV for 1093 code. Also have a Kennedy boost stick installed. Will this set-up run good or is there any other suggestions or comments?;)

You will probably need to run the 180 in the lowest setting. I'm not sure what the lowest setting is but it still might be too high.

You'd probably want to consider a second lift pump, and watch your boost closely to make sure that it doesn't run too high...

Setting shown for the Van Aaken (180) is 50 , 70, 110, and 180. Have seen a few members running this set-up. Might need a second lift pump but will wait to see how this set-up works.

I think you're going to run into bursting problems even with more lift pumps.

My testing with the VA 0/90/180 and PPE Hot and PPE Hot+2 is you can run the PPE Hot and the VA 180, or the PPE Hot+2 and the VA on the 70 or 90 setting. Just not enough fuel availble for both on high.

Try it and let us know the results, every truck is different.

You run that boost stick for long and you can kiss your turbo good-bye. You will also definitely not be able to run both on kill, as said before. Hot +2 and 90 works best for me. Ive also got the second lp and would highly recommend it. You might not need it and might not feel it, but if nothing else it will help to keep your CP3 happy as can be. On top of that, a larger fuel pick-up would help too.

Also, I cant say what your VA box is, but most Ive seen are 3 position boxes. Off-half power- full power. If youve got the 180 then that would be 0-90-180.

Do these new Van Aaken (180) produce any extra boost? Would assume that running the boost stick with this set-up could spell disaster for my stock turbo as stated above. Thanks for the head's up.
