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!

Zsteve, im gonna pm you some info right now. Give me a sec, i need to go on the other forum and get all the info.

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.

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.
