Not that I want to do this but..
For the setup in my signature....
I don't like the noise my Radix makes, I'm sorry but I just find it annoying
when it goes from vacuum to boost, which happens alot in daily driving, sounds like an empty power steering pump.
Get a rotrex and take the Radix head unit,pulley and idler off.
Use the radix intake and injectors etc as is and get a wilson or similiar intake elbow and have it mated to the radix intake.
Then I would just need a silicone elbow setup to get from the rotrex outlet to the intake elbow.
This would solve a couple of issues, first, the noise, second, lack of intercooling for rotrex,[I tow] AND assuming simliar psi, tuning could be near the same.
all the sensors, iat etc could remain in the radix intake manifold, fuel pump
is already in, intercooling is in place, no #7 meltdown with Radix intake,
bypass valve still in place etc.
What haven't I thought of.......
Man, I wish someone would buy a Rotrex and give us some feedback.
