brand new- http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=87

brian sells his base it for $2750 and you can pick them up used for a decent price, same can be said of the vortechs put power per lb of boost you'll have a faster car with a turbo

turbos are more of a headache. hotter temps and take up more real estate under the hood. have to cut the front of the car for the intercooler, they typically require more maintenance (bearings / seals) due to the hotter temps.

for 2800 what are you getting, what brand turbo?

i paid 2900 for my ysi kit from summit of all places when they first came out with it. has made more then 700 rwhp on 93 octane with NO intercooler what so ever. show me a turbo that is that efficient that can do that after driving 50 miles to the dyno and no cool down time. :angel4:

with better gas it has been 144 mph, do the math on a 3360 lb car and its making a lot of power

hmm, hotter temps? than a non-intercooled vortech? i doubt it.... and you dont have to cut the car one bit for an intercooler

what bearings and seals are you talking about? a turbo can last 100k+ miles without a rebuild as long as it is taken care of

for $2750 you get a master power turbo which literally hundreds of turbo mustang guys have been using for years and i plan to use for my own build

turbos are more efficient than superchargers, end of story, theres no arguing it... no cool down time? no problem, thanks to the intercooler included at the $2750 price tag, the turbo was cooling down the whole way to the dyno...

with a turbo you would've had more power per PSI, again, end of story, its a known fact

master power turbos are hit or miss, latest ones with the larger shafts have less issues. if you want to deal something thats made in brazil then thats all you. pte/garret are quality and are where i would spend the money if i was you.

but i degress...

yes hotter temps under your hood, and the turbo seal / bearings. you never heard of a failure? better research the mp a little more

difference is i don't NEED the intercooler. you can't say x turbo will always make more power per boost then y blower. too many factors between the two and as far as Adiabatic Efficiency is concerned well you would have to provide a lot more specifics then to say its a known fact.

you are however completely missing my point.

dude said he wants a blower and does not want headaches. if you think a turbo setup has less headaches then any blower setup then well you are in for a world of hurting lol

most turbo failures are due to user error.... hell, theres a guy on the turbo forums making 540+hp on a stock 5.0 with a chinese turbo

seals and bearings going bad are typically oiling problems....


ive already had a blower... it was nothing but trouble for me so i sold it for $2300 and started buying turbo parts, it will be nice not to worry about how hot the blower is getting, i know i have burned myself on the housing before and IAT's were never happy

as far as under hood heat... thats why parts get heat wrapped

im curious to what your blower problems were and the make / model of it

Im making a littler over 600 rwhp with a D1 and its fun but not easy. If you want something fun and easy I would vote on all motor. There are so many little things that you forget about that it quickly adds to thousands of dollars more than expected.
