you can't use the LSx compressor with VA system. They are a variable ratio compressor and when doing retrofits, there is no way to control the output and have to be run full out. If so, they will die an ugly death in short order. AND WILLl VOID any Vintage Air warranty.

There is only one company I know of with adapter brackets to run Sanden 508 compressor on LSx and it is Kwik Performance. All other bracket systems use SD7 compressors, which is ok to use since the front runner system uses them. VA may have recently released a conversion bracket as there was some talk of it on another board the other day
