Serious question: has anybody around here done a "sloppy mechanics style" supercharged build, like slapping a Procharger on a stock/stock-ish truck motor?

I disagree on the "project" aspect. I think people turn turbo cars into projects because Most can afford a $1,000 turbo and think all the other **** that goes with it is "cheap" and end up buying cheap crap that doesn't work and then filling up this section with stupid questions wondering why nothing works properly. Where as the initial cost of a SC is high but is generally complete from the start. That 3-4K minimum buy in scares stupid "China buyers" off. The guys that buy the right Turbo components and don't mess around with stupid **** usually get it right without a bunch of headache.

Sloppy as in building a **** kit and putting it on a stock motor or a just procharger kit on a stock motor? People put procharger on trucks and stock ls1s all the time. Using a stock motor doesn't make it sloppy. There are 2 c5s on corvette forum that ran low 9s with stock bottom ends.

a pro for supercharger....it's really hard to throw one together "sloppy" unless you're attempting to make your own brackets and accessories, it's damn near impossible to screw up. I've seen some VERY sloppy turbo setups. especially when your average backyard mechanics start trying to build turbo manifolds.

Speaking of mindless retards.. Does anyone spend time on the boosted LSX page? For **** sakes it's bad. I mean the stupid questions are one thing but the responses you get from people are just amazing.. I've never seen such a large collection of retards in one place.
