TRICK PERFORMANCE or KB RACING
#111
haha, what a way to put it, but I couldn't agree more, same with the light...
Regardless, I'm in the market for a good bolt on front mount kit as well. Resistance to winters and salt (as well as horrible chloride spray they use on my gravel roads) is a big priority, but I've been wondering if I'm just better off getting the pipes coated in something like jet-hot, rather than limiting myself just to stainless. Anyone have any input?
Also, I don't run a lower valence on my truck, so I can't use the typical FMIC like comes with the Trick kit. I'd rather have it mounted behind the upper grill if at all possible? Anyone know of an intercooler kit like this, or happen to have any shots of an install done like that?
Oh, and while I'm on the questions, I've also seen some front mount turbo kits that have the passenger exhaust crossover to the turbo in front of the engine, instead of behind and down below the bellhousing like the KB & trick. Is there any significant disadvantage or advantage to routing like that??

I agree 100%

John,
Upgrading from your P-1SC impeller to the Superchargerrebuilds P-1 stage 2 impeller isn't going to flow the same. SR's impeller appears to be an upgrade from the P-1SC impeller but doesn't have the curved blades (turbo style) common on all the high HP/flow Prochargers. It's too bad they don't produce a boost map for these Centri's so you could compare them head-to-head.
P-1SC

SCrebuild's P1 Stage ll

An actual D-1SC

An F-1A

Just like on a turbo, the compound curves in the blades are the key to the flow. I've seen some Garrett turbos with upgrades impellers that have just a slight increase in the curve have a dramatic increase in the rate of flow.

Looking at their P-1SC Stage ll upgrade (2nd picture), I would ask for a picture of their D-1SC replacement impeller. Unless it has the compounded curve blades (like the 3rd and 4th picture), it won't have the same HP potential or boost ramp-up.

A P-1SC looks like picture #1 and has the same 6.25" diameter impeller (exducer) as a D-1SC. The P-1SC-1 looks like the D-1SC but is only 5.25" in diameter.
