Who are you to say that I don't have first hand experience? You have no idea what I know and you aren't the "God" of turbos. I did some extensive research on turbos when I was deciding on what power adder to get, granted my best friend sold me his blower for 1200$, but I was set on a Vortech S-Trim or a P1-SC procharger due to the fact that installation for the Vortech is a breeze compared to the Turbocharger, and the Procharger is a very reputable blower and massive power maker. The performance shop that I do all of my dyno's at, but my parts through, and am good friends with told me straight up that a blower was easier to install and maintain than a turbo. Plus they are a good amount of money more, $4000-$4500 vs. $3000-$3500. I spoke with Incon and they even told me that blowers are less of a hassle. But I guess they don't know from first hand experience either. Another thing.....with boost, as the motors get older, you tend to wear out your rings, causing blow-by, thus oil gets into the exhaust. That will ruin a turbo by clogging it up. With a blower, you don't have to worry about it. What about if you need to pull your exhaust for a gasket swap? I am really wondering about that "God of Turbo's" If that is easier maintenance than on a blower, tell me I am wrong about that.


There is a difference. There are so many variables that impact spool time that it is not worth getting into.

Exactly, it isn't worth getting into

Centrifugals are nothing like turbos. I have had both and would know. Turbos work off load and centrifugals work off of engine rpm.

I didn't say they were exactly like Turbos, I said they build boost more like a turbo than a roots blower.

As far as the intercooler is concerned, it definitely allows you make more power, run more timing, and run a safer setup.

Atleast we agree on something

Also the TDC kit comes 100% complete with the exhaust system, Spearco Intercooler, boost controller and a ton of other parts.

Again, I don't think I said anything regarding what was in the kit. I just said you need different headers, meaning it will cost more, wether or not it is included or not. And also you would have to do a header swap, which I HAVE done on a 4.6. NOT FUN

In all honesty, people with no experience with the 4.6 market should leave the topic alone.

I never said I have had no experience with the 4.6's, I just said that I am not as familiar with them as I am with 5.0's.

Going back to the reply you initally corrected me on....I can't see anything wrong with that, blowers DO run off of exhaust and blowerd DO run off of the crank. With Turbo's you DO need different headers, and you DO need a intercooler, with a blower you DO NOT need different headers or a intercooler. Tell me I am wrong there. I mean come on, talk about nit-picking, you must be a woman ha ha ha j/k
