If your cars manual it'll be okay, but an auto 4L with a centrifugal charger would fair suck a*** IMO.

I'm just after something that's easy to install, and if it's all bolt on and I can keep my N/A mods, that just makes it perfect for me. The mods I have now will all be going into the next car e.g. zorst, intake.

Also bear in mind that the battery will have to be relocated to the boot to make room for the Pod Filter ...so approx $750 in parts and labour there. So unless you're a whizz mechanic / Auto sparky ...you will need to get all the hardware and feed lines professionally fitted, ECU wired in, and finally all nicely dyno tuned ...so chalk up some decent $'s for the labour and time there! So, $10,000 - $12,000 is not unrealistic if you wanna do a decent, reliable job.

So ur say that u have to put a fuel system, ecu, exhaust, intercooler etc with a turbo to make good power....... You need all that stuff with a blower aswell!!!! You can get away with no ecu same as a blower kit does, no intercooler same as a blower kit, fuel system can be the same a blown car... You could also get away with a 2 1/2" system. So can someone please tell me how you can say how it cost 4-5k more for the same power level out of a turbo! my 2c worth.

Capa claim 240 kw from their powerdyne unit @ the fly, which aint bad for the money. even if you only get 220 your PPO is the same as an early Tseries falc. Personally if I ever go forced which is highly unlikely Id get capa to install but someone better to do the tune for the S/c and flash. Its about the curve and delivery for me, PPO is a very distant second.

Get a decent Vortech or Pro-charger.... A 9.2 compression AU with T04Z spools as quick as you want...There are so many variables...They also have power through WHOLE rev range as do the better blowers... Belts are an issue with Powerdyne..Check U.S prices and you'll see how much CAPA are ripping you off !!!

What I was thinking of, we gather as much people as possible then submit the order to raptor using your forum name as reference. the thing is, you deposit your money into their business account & report back here as PAID next to your username. that way I won't be liable for any screw-ups! lol We'll try & work out a reasonble discount for a decent group buy eg: 5 order = 8% discount, 10 orders = 12% discount or more.

It comes down to sizing of the turbo where the power is. With a mild cam, and a GT35/40R I was making boost on the line. Or if I was rolling I could see around 6-8psi at 1800rpm if I had the foot down about 1/4. Considering you'de need an M112 to make the kind of power a 35/40 can make and considering the cost difference between the head units, I'de say turbo is both cheaper and more effective than PD blowers for the same power output. No doubting that you can have a centri supercharger for a little less than either PD or Turbo, but you only make peak boost at peak revs. In some cases this is good (where you have traction problems or big displacement) but in a street car you want big torque everywhere. Number 3 is also a little misleading, in that the supercharger is STILL turning and robbing crank power with the throttle closed, it also makes a fair bit of heat. Bypass valves generally help in this area but the supercharger is still using power directly from the crank while your idling, cruising etc. Intercooling becomes more difficult due to everything being on the intake side, or water/air intercooling needs to be used which takes up space we don't really have on a falcon on the intake side of the 6. Turbo on the other hand creates higher exhaust backpressure at the valve, meaning cam timing needs to be more conservative to stop reversion, however a turbocharger is load dependent, ie if you are making more exhaust gases then it makes boost. If its not under load then back pressure is not significantly raised meaning it doesn't parasitically load the engine as much as the supercharger.

I have pics of the prototypes. Dunno about Turbo, but I can see that these could be quite effective on a supercharger set-up, along with the use of a CBF.
