check ALL connections-oil connections, belts, belt tension, etc.. tighten as needed and look for anything that could possibley obsturct the intake charge. also the guage may have a bad connection where you receive boost but it doesn't shw up on the guage
1. There will be a supercharger sitting on top of the engine...it's hard to miss because the supercharger will be the first thing you see in the middle under the hood it sits on top of the engine or 2. Check the VIN Supercharged models start with the number 1 Non-Supercharged models start with the letter L or 3. Check the emblems on the car SSEi models are always supercharged SSE models will have Supercharged emblems on the front doors (if you don't have them then its not supercharged not all SSEs are) SE models are never supercharged or lastly 4. Check the dashboard gauges Supercharged models will have a "boost" guage on the far right of the instrument cluster....that guage monitors the air pressure in the supercharger Non supercharged models will have a voltometer which measures the battery's output or if you don't have either well then its a base model with pretty much nothing so it obviously wont have one
Yes, to a certain degree. Actually the SSEi trim level comes stock with a supercharger.
check your fuel filter.
There is no low boost light in a gtp. There is a boost meter. indicating how much boost you are pushing.
Some parts are interchangable and some are not. Example, my 1984 Ford F-150 truck's brakes recently went out, I had to replace the vacum boost with a (I believe, not real sure though) 1986 vacum boost, same model.
The more boost you use the lower compression you want. Higher compression with boost leads to detonation which leads to excess engine wear and damage.
Ford specification on the non supercharged cars is .052"-.056". I set them to .050. The side electrode needs to be parallel with the flat surface of the center electrode as well. The supercharged Cobras are between .035-.039" I set them to .035", unless the boost level is higher than 14# of boost. HTH Jim
Unless you are accelerating rapidly the engine should have a vaccum (negative boost). All gasoline engines have vaccum during normal operation, this is how the engine rpm is controlled. The throttle only allows a small amount of air to pass into the engine (less than what the engine would draw in naturally) pushing the gas pedal down opens the throttle more allowing more air to pass and thus less vaccum, or positive pressure (boost) on a supercharged or turbocharged engine.

usually on thursdays from tilt village call supercharged latias/latios.honchkrow will appear in front of you he is quite fast so you will need to boost latios/latias (touch latios/latias while flying to boost).
The bypass valve is a release which vents off pressure in a rapid de-acceleration situation. When the supercharger is producing boost and you abruptly let off the gas, closing the throttle plates, the boost has nowhere to go.
