I'm referring to the turbo response, the time between flooring it and getting the kick in the back.

sounds like it goes pretty damn good. So how is the turbo protected? And is the filter exposed under the car?

Response is good and quick (based of the reviews on it)

Sorry bro's, the forum is blocking the pics from being posted. But to answer your question Zsteve, the filter IS protected better than the STS rear mount turbo from water and and other stuff that might be thrown your way.

a recirculating valve will help keep unused air back into the intake right where the turbo is and will help the spool time. My audi used that and it spooled at 2K.

Actually the mid mount setup is not new to turbo charged applications. Oem's have actually used it before on trucks where there is a lot more room around the transmission area to stick a turbo then there is on say a Z. An STS kit can spool by 4000 so it wouldn't surprise me if a midmount could beat that by a few hundred rpm. Turbo response is directly effected by spool time and the amount of piping from the turbo to the throttle bodies. A properly insulated exhaust front section as well as a free flowing rear section, combined with proper intake pipe sizes and an appropriately sized intercooler can go a long way to reducing the response time on one of these setups. It's all about R&D, and how well that kit is designed i can't say but i can be done properly.
To more accurately answer the OP's Question though if he is dead set on buying a stillen supercharger kit, Meth or water injection does wonders, maybe a larger a heat exchanger on the the front of the car for the intercooler, have it custom tuned by a reputable shop to make sure there is no problem there as that is the downfall of the stillen kits so far. Oh and supporting mods are good like test pipes, and a catback, clutch and flywheel (if your CSC doesn't explode) to hold the extra power, and better tires. brakes and suspension never hurt either if you have the sport brakes i suggest stainless lines, better fluid, and different pad compound as the stock sport pad material is crap. Always good to be able to bring your new rocket sled to a stop. Also think about shedding some weight you would be surprised what even 200 lbs can do for your all around performance.

headers plus supercharger...good idea, bad idea?
I am installing a Stillen Supercharger on my car. Word on the street is (from Stillen) that installing headers and high flow cats is a bad idea. According to them their supercharger is designed to operate with a certain amount of back pressure and that by reducing that back pressure I will lose power that the supercharger added. So my question is, is this true? Does anyone have some solid experience with this?
I apologize if this question has already been asked but much like MC Customs, I don't have time nor the inclination to sift through all the crap. |
