Thread: Discussion on replacing Wabco sls compressor

One thing to be a little wary of is the way the original system draws air in through a "dryer" to remove moisture, then when it deflates the system it exhausts it back through the dryer to take the moisture away again.
In the short term I can't see any issues, but over a very long period, you may end up with moisture in the bags.

Just a thought,

I have ordered a 9lt alloy air tank from superior engineering, there was a similar item on ebay but the dimensions did not suit where I wish to install. My idea will be to still use the dryer that is attached to the original compressor as mentioned in dirtdodgers original thread by taping a new thread on the outlet side of compressor. I am just waiting for my shrader valves to arrive so that I can start removing the old compressor and still be able to keep airbags inflated.
Cheers Matt
