Question I bought a vp44 from Blue Chip and I have installed an adrenaline w/pulse and tapped the pump like it said on the instructions on the wire have I void the warranty ? any way I have just received a cover that he makes for the pump and planning on installing it tomorrow.

I just hate purchasing from a non sponsor. No other sponsor will warrenty a tapped pump besides another 1600 dollar blue chip.

Does anyone know the truth about the computer sitting on top of these things? Blue Chip said other companies only replace them if they have to. :(

Stealthplate is just, what it says, stealth... for warrantyreasons. Itīs not the safest way connect the tap, but itīs better than the POS Scotchloks and similar. Best way to make the connection if you donīt have a very expensive crimpingtool is soldering... not very stealth, but makes for a good connection if done properly....

So know I need to replace those two were can I get that type of bolt or can I replace them with diffrent bolt .

Any old screw will work. Don't remember the size, I had the same issue when I did mine. I had to take mine to a machine shop to get one out. I just put regular allen head screws in mine.

Cool man I thought I was in big trouble.

Just make sure you get the right thread - you dont want to strip it. Sorry I cant tell you what it is - I have yet to have the pleasure of replacing my VP-44.

Ok so I finished installing my plastic cover on the vp44 that I got from Blue Chip and after I finished installing it when to turn it on and had the engine light on and I did the key thing to pull up the codes and I got this P0122 and P1693 and after that I turn the truck on and the light went out took it for a quick spin and it drove good as normal the light stayed off.Should I check something? By the way I did made sure the apps sensor was connected. Here are some pics .
