Which do you install on your GTO? I was talking with my friend last night and he said S/C all the way. What is your opinion on this matter?
Can you post any pictures of these setups?whipplegto said:In Australia we have LS1s fitted with
- PD blowers
- centrifigal blowers
- single turbo
- twin turbo
The thing I like about the twin turbo applications I have seen is that you cannot see the turbos, and most cannot pick any change in the engine bay. Lift the hood on a blown motor and you can see it straight away.

flyinlow said:V type engines are alot easier to put superchargers on than turbos. You almost have to do a twin turbo on a V engine, and now you're talking big bucks. The advantage is you can do alot of playing around with them.
Aspect said:Look at all the HIGH horsepower street machines. Supras, Skylines, etc... The Higher Horsepowered machines are using a single HUGE Turbo to make power. Sure the PEAK numbers look great on the dyno, but have you seen the curves? YUCK.... peddle to the floor....nothing.....nothing.....nothing...HOLYSnikeys !!! Where as a dual turbo will give better midrange.
very true.BTW - The myth of turbo lag is virtually non existant today. Better turbine design and ball bearings have virtually eliminated this previously plaguing problems
are the fuel system and injector upgrades necessary while getting the magnacharger or can we just strap it on the stock motor and be ok?LPEGoat said:You know where my vote went...seven days till I pick it up!!!

I have seen some sites saying you can purchase and bolt it on however I wouldn't recomend that. It seems to get what you want out of the magnacharger a few more things need to be tweeked however I'm sure some other people will know more about it than I? :eek2:Dbluegoat said:are the fuel system and injector upgrades necessary while getting the magnacharger or can we just strap it on the stock motor and be ok?
