Whipple 2.9l install
Hey guys I need a little help, I'm In the process of installing a whipple 2.9 and the instructions leave a little to be desired in my opinion. Any way the instructions on bolting on the tb say to use the "gaskets" (meaning two) my kit only came with one. I have the black reducer (adapter) and a gasket. The oem gasket fits in a grove, nothing like that on the whipple. am I missing something?
For you guys with 10 rib conventions... I installed the new tensioner set up and from whipple it came with the 10 rib smooth pully, and then you reuse the 10 rib original tensioner pully, but there is another smooth pully that's closest to the tb that I'm missing. Should it come with the kit, or is it something I need to order. Thanks for the help Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

As to your gasket question: The supplied paper gasket goes behind the adapter, the factory o-ring goes on the front side of the adapter, and there is no groove on the adapter.
Are you running a 10-rib setup? Mine came with the smooth 10-rib pulley also, but I'm pretty sure I had to re-use one of my stock idler pulleys as well. Hope you get it/got it worked out. |

It goes on there with no grove, how do you get it to stay in one place if you don't have a grove?

There should be two gaskets. I thought I was missing one as well but the other gasket was stuck in between some documents / pages that came in the kit. Look through all the pages of every document carefully.

Make sure the other gasket isn't on the blower already.
