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.Brandon

blowers are really cool but turbos take the cake,just my opinion!

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.- Justin
