Anyone with a Supercharger or Turbo Installed (Twin or Single)

[Jacko3]

How does the supercharger or turbo feel? Have you changed any parts of your car in order for it to handle the stresses on the transmission and engine? How is the reliability with your car? Do you have a water and alcohol injection for further cooling? How does the car's handling differ with the vortech or turbo? What parts of your car have failed since you installed your supercharger or turbo.

How many ponies are you getting out of the supercharger or turbo? How is your gas mileage with the supercharger or turbo? Did you tune it or dyno it after installation?

What other advices would you give others attempting to install a supercharger or a turbo?

We need your assistance with this as some maybe beginning to think that installing a supercharger or turbo is inevitable.

I haven't S/C or T/C my car, but I can answer some of your questions.

Clutch would be a definite consideration. Stage 2 clutch.

Use a FMIC instead of alcohol or water injection.

Most with the S/C or T/C push a maximum of 6-8 psi with stock internals. That will put you at or above 400HP at the wheels.

YOUR mileage will suck, since you already are a spirited driver, and this will just push you farther.

Usually, dyno tuning is something you want to do when installing something like this. That will get your wastegate and BOV set to the proper pressures.

You would also want to look into a higher flow fuel pump and higher flow injectors.

No problem bro...

Also, you might try contacting WDRacing. He knows more about turbos than anyone I have ever met.

Forwarning, his personality can be really harsh. I suggest reading the Turbo 101 article and knowing your facts before you ask him questions. If you haven't researched at all, he won't be very helpful. But if you have researched, he will be extremely helpful.
