Isn't a Maggie blower just a relabeled or reworked Eaton? Not sure to be honest with you.

Eaton contracted Magnuson (Companies name) to build the kits and rebuild or refurb the kits (only authorized company to refurb Eatons according to Eaton and Magnuson). Not a whole lot of information on specifically what I was looking for though.

Magnacharger is actually Magna Charger and Radix describes the blower type kit. Radix usually (I thought) referred to the truck series because the Radix can be bought non intercooled. But I am thinking the Radix decribes the blower Kit using the MP112 because I have yet to find any other "Radix" intercooled or non-intercooled specifically with anything but a MP112. When it first came out they used Radix when describing the light truck blower, and then when it came out for the Corvette it was only refferd to as a Magnacharger. I thing the best way to find out is call them directly lol.
Of course then you got the truck version that takes its air from the back, and the Corvette/GTO/CTS-V/G8 version taking it from the front each being build just alittle different.

I kinda look at it like this
Magnuson - Magna Charger - Radix
ATI - Procharger - P1SC
Vortech Engineering, LLC - Vortech - V4 Blower

Not fact of course but it seems to make sense.
