I'm pretty sure the procharger setups are waaay simpler then most turbo setups lol. Less stuff to worry about lol. I like to install and go (for the most part)...not spend time tryin to figure out e-boost2's and crazy gizmo's as such lmao

As for boost.... Im staying Procharger..... with the right combo there is no need to switch over to a turbo. If I had to do it all over... I wouldve grabbed a F1 instead of a D1.

Turbos are great... but IMO the Centri SC is where its at.

I did not mean it as if they are cheap, but it is fact that a quality turbo setup is going to be almost double a centri setup. If centri sc setup's were the same cost as a turbo setup, nobody would **** with them, THE END...Now lets get this thread back on topic...

I got rid of my turb set-up because i love the simplicity of the procharger and how you tune the car like a NA car.

But yea back on topic, Dont care about turbo talk, wanna talk procharger set-ups n pictures for eye candy!!

But anyways, I agree the procharger is alot easier to install and tune, thats the exact reason I bought one back in the day. Unfortunately I had alot of problems with mine, because it was a early lt1 p1sc kit that needed lots of revisions and basically left a bad taste in my mouth. Great thread tho, lets see some more pics!!

Yea I have an idea, but your taking what I said the wrong way lol! Ive been around forced induction for 9yrs, so I know what it costs. I was not ever implying that procharger is cheap, but it does cost less than most quality turbo builds. Now lets drop this ****, I was just messing around, Prochargers make Great Power, I HAD ONE BACK IN 2001 lol! Sorry for even bringin this subject up Taubr!!!!

Hey taubr, where did you get the bracket from? Is it just a modified bracket that comes with a procharger kit or what?

Make sure you have hardened bolts holding that blower drive pulley on the crank pulley, I snapped one off with 3 hardened bolts and 3 steel ones.

Here is some of the car I recently sold. Pics were taken by me, and videos by myself or my friends:
