The fact of the matter is; Anyone with an SC getting any substantial HP are rebuilding their engine or swapping it out completely for one that will hold without breaking up.
However, not understanding the entire issue, just get a bracket custom made for the lower end procharger? Air is air on a 6cyl. or an 8cyl. you just need the bracket.

as HP Tuners, SCT, or Diablo makes tuning available, we'll start
development."

Vince needs to get with these guys!!!

EVERYBODY START WRITING EMAILS TO PROCHARGER!! LETS SHOW THEM THERE IS DEMAND OUT THERE!!

Just Imagine... 475HP!!! for only $5000

But its crank power not wheel. So take the 75 off you have about 400

+1 Also remember it depends on the tranny you have on the lose to the crank. Autos lose more than manuals do. I also think Vince is about to start branching out more. Since he is getting out of the retailer market and just having dealers. Pretty soon who knows he maybe the solution these makers have been waiting for.

Most handheld tuners have the same tuning capabilities as an open source system or trifecta. The handhelds just store tunes for flashing, but maps can be made for them.

I think many of the supercharger faithful would be pleasantly surprised with the feel and sound of a proper turbo setup. A properly sized turbo will put you in or near peak torque before ~3,500 rpm and if you want an awesome sound just run an external wastegate and dump to atmosphere. That's what I have and it's super quiet cruising, but when you step on the go-pedal it sounds like a damn 767.

Having owned an centrifugal supercharged V6 before and now a turbo'ed V6, I have to agree, the feel of the turbo is better then the centrifugal... BUT, i also understand turbos are not for everyone and a centrifugal is a much friendly DIY install...

yeah. you could use meth. it would help, but with a procharger, its alot harder to adjust boost control. You would have to get a vacuum boost controller to keep the boost down still. even with meth, u can only run so much boost. and most boost controllers are going for about $400 bucks.

I had a 02 GTP, and an AWD Talon TSI (4cyl turbo). I must say, the TSI felt alot faster, but I never tracked them! :( Wish I did. But I loved the feel of the turbo. Its basically just a bigger jump in power. And there is nothing like the sound.

By the way, *(4 car shop garage)* the turbo setup with also be a friendly DIY for me

I am excited.

That's the only thing I really dislike about the EcoBoost... you can't hear the turbos at ALL! No spooling, no BOV... NOTHING! It's stupid quiet...

Yes, I feel that it is because of the current target market. You never know. They may change it up a bit, when they realize who wants them.
