    Default Supercharger to Turbocharger.

    I sold the supercharger a while back on e-bay so this has turned into my build thread while trying to convert my car over to turbo.

    You can get 14-15 psi out of a Vortech, just not an S-Trim. I traded my S in for a T and am now pushing 14.8 psi @ 6400RPM according to the data logger. I had to have ASP build me a custom crank pulley to make that much boost but I'm just saying you can get that much out of a Vortech and it may cost you less than changing to turbo.

    I've comtemplated going turbo too. Good luck with your decision.

    I was thinking that if I have to spend more money on pullies and another head unit than I might as well sell it and start on a turbo kit. I would lose money on the supercharger kit but I would have a good start on a turbo kit. And I agree turbos do take the cake... I use to have a turbo and kick myself everyday for getting rid of it.

    Ok guys I just took off the supercharger this weekend and did what I could to make sure the whole kit was there. So I'm going to put it up for sale. I took some pictures of everything so I will have them posted on here soon.

    Nice pics, but have a question about your radiator support mods. Why is the bar so far back on your plates? You intending to put the radiator in front of that bar?

    i agree you'd be better off like mine, how you have it now looks to be about as much room as if you wouldve left the stock crossmember in there

    I likey that one! Nice bends! I did mine with square tubing as far forward as I could get it per opening dimension.

    But if the OP is planning to have the radiator out in front of the bar... Say with a pin-down hood, it would be pretty unique and probably work out for more room altogether.
