Radix to a TVS

I bought one... The only thing I can see from the description is that it includes all the parts needed for "mounting"... Maybe its missing things like the circ pump and little **** like that. No matter what- a screamin deal. Should make the s10 scoot just a little more.

Hope you guys get what you're paying for, it really looks too good to be true, post up some pictures of the items when received. I doubt their rebuilt units because the TVS's haven't been out long enough. Does Rousche make their own manifolds?

if legitimacy is a concern, I can assure you the probability of this being legit is high. I spoke with Damien earlier today (the contact guy there) and its a Ford Dealership. They even told me I can come into the dealership and pick it up in person. I have no problem with doing that, but I can't find the time to spare to drive 2-3hrs north for a sense of security.
Just debating wether I want to get into one of these again or not. For this price, I think selling my truck supercharged again would be an added bonus for the new buyer.
I spoke with Julio today as well, the OP, and we discussed the differences seen with this blower and my TVS. The only reason I can see as to why they marketed this as an 07-09 5.3 application is due to the throttle body connection. It is a 4 bolt which is standard on the 07+, whereas the 04-06 have the 78mm 3 bolt. Well, with the TVS comes a billet adapter plate that makes this work for the 07+ or the 04+. It just makes that 4 bolt opening into a 3 bolt opening. No biggie? Plus I think the intercooler tank is designed to work in an 07+ application whereas it might need to be retrofitted into an 04-06 application.
now that I remember, the TVS manual calls for removal of the stock fuel rails on the NNBS trucks which then convert over to the TVS.
NOW... mine came with the fuel rails, but then again I had a NBS truck, so it might be different. Maybe Bryan, Ray, or Justin/Jenna can chime in on that one.
Anyhow, I pulled the trigger and bought one.
Can't pass it up!!

ZO6Ted said someone got .3 in the 1/4, so .2 in the 1/8th while Atomic said it's not worth it if u plan to run the same amount of boost.
trever1t, if u dropped .33 in the 1/4 all other things pretty much the same, was that u Bill or are others seeing similiar & at same boost?
Kyle, a new 4" Edelbrock Duramax cat back with muffler for $99 shipped a week or so ago, is a deal. I've read thru this I noticed too, they keep selling more, then re-listing for a couple hundred $$ more, then selling those...
Atomic said they went from 1700 to 2000 to 2400 in the last day. While I never saw that cause I just found this, they're $2600 now. I too hope you guys get what you're paying for, it really looks too good to be true.
a_guerrajr said he spoke to guy at Roush, they engineered, but it was not to be marketed as a Roush product, since they aren't providing warranty work on it. So that's probably worth ~$300 for a warr.
