STILLEN SUPERCHARGER - some questions, please help!

G37Sam

I'm sure the response on a turbo that far would be annoying

STS claims normal lag for their turbo setups and theirs are further down than this one.

Owners of the kit have been seeing full boost at 3600rpm... It's quick!

You're talking about spool rpm, which has to do with the cfm of the exhaust aka exhaust momentum (which doesn't alter much from in a further down setup)

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

Yes, it will give you a whippp lash lol
Response is good and quick (based of the reviews on it)

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.

Wow their Turbo's must be magical then, because physics wouldn't agree that's for sure

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

Let my try to get a pic... One sec, just gonna hop on the other forum.



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.

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.

Mr.Squeeze

You will make more power with the headers and high flow cats/ Test pipes with a custom tune not Stillen tune.

RCZ proved this with 445 WHP on a dynoJet.

I aslo made 464WHP dynpjet with test pipes.

It's a vortech V3 Blower it is sufficient enough to flow with that combo. This is done on many platforms with the same unit.
