Neuspeed 49.10.95 - Manual (Page 14)

SUPERCHARGER FACTS:
The NEUSPEED Supercharger has been designed for stock engines in good mechanical condition. Engine
recalibration devices that modify fuel delivery and spark curve are NOT recommended, and may cause engine
damage or failure! Volkswagen engines, along with our custom programmed P-Chip have sufficient fuel system
capacity to deliver the additional fuel to match the additional air induced by the Supercharger.
What about aftermarket parts – camshaft, adjustable pulley, exhaust system? Can they be used with my
Supercharger?
Yes. If you already have them on your engine, no problem. However, the camshaft should be a very mild grind
like our 256-degree, and the cam gear should be set to ‘O’. If you do not have the NEUSPEED® hi-
performance exhaust, or a P-Flo they may be added at any time for additional power.
Does a Supercharger cause engine ping?
Your custom P-Chip has been programmed to provide sufficient fuel delivery and correct spark advance, so that
you should not have engine ping. In addition, your engine has an anti-knock device to bring the spark advance
back slightly so that does not happen. In any case, never allow your engine to ping any longer than it takes to
initially hear the ping.
What kind of fuel should I use?
Only use PREMIUM FUEL!
What kind of air filter does NEUSPEED recommend?
For the best overall driving conditions with the Supercharger, we recommend the stock air filter. That is why we
have included in our kit a new custom air box cover. This design also makes for a very easy installation and a
clean factory-look. A K&N stock replacement filter can also be used. If your stock air filter is dirty, replace it or
clean your K&N at this time. A new Stainless Steel P-Flo is now available for Golf IV, Jetta IV, and Beetle
NEUSPEED® Supercharged cars. Call for details.
Does is matter if my transmission is manual or automatic?
No. The NEUSPEED Supercharger will work properly regardless of transmission type.
How much boost should the NEUSPEED Supercharger make?
The NEUSPEED Supercharger comes with one pulley size only! It is designed to deliver approximately 5-7 psi
of boost pressure. The pulley size affects the drive ratio between the Supercharger and the engine. Increasing
the speed of the Supercharger relative to the engine will raise the boosted manifold pressure, but not the actual
torque and horsepower of the engine. NEUSPEED has conducted hundreds of hours of dyno testing to find the
best level of boost with available gasoline octane. In many cases, raising the boost level will actually decrease
engine performance. Timing advance and available gasoline octane are critical elements. The pulley size, and
boost level of the Supercharger has been designed to achieve the best combination of performance, efficiency
and overall long-term reliability. Changing or altering the pulley WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE
SUPERCHARGER.
