    procharger

    What does everybody think about a procharger? I just got a packet in the mail about them. It looks pretty sweet and easy to install.

    Very easy to install. They are a dog until 3-4k rpms, then they take off like a rocket. Power comes on linearly, very predictable. You can find used kits very cheap.

    The fuel management unit is junk, so don't use that.

    Look into a Radix as well. very complete package, TONS of torque off idle.

    There are pros & cons to each kit.

    Yea Im looking at it because its easy to install. What is the fuel management unit? Anything better than stock. Do you know if everything comes with the kit, or do I have to buy a bunch of other stuff. Its my everyday driver so I dont have a lot of downtime.

    be sure to pin the balancer to the crankshaft when doing a belt driven blower setup or you'll most likely spin the balance on the crank and tear it up. The Gen3 balancers aren't keyed to the crankshaft.

    +1 on that ^^^ I ripped mine right off the crank. you need to do that with any SC.

    FMU uses a vacuum reference to add fuel. Add larger injectors and fuel pump with a custom tune instead.

    There is a thread on pt.net about pros & cons of all FI types. Go read up.
