I would consider the Whipple 2.3L kit that my boss had installed on his 2011 6.2L second to none as far as quality, appearance and it performs quite well, but again has the issue that everyone has already mentioned, lack of support for future upgrades. If you were to run it out the box there would be no issues what’s-so-ever, but as of right now you can’t even pulley it down. According to them, Whipple is in the kit making mode right now and until orders are filled they have no intention of building accessories. I can say from my point of view having had a Radix MP-112 for a number of years, there are quite a few things that stand out on the new Whipple kits that make you stand back in appreciation of their units and that say’s a lot since the Magnacharger’s have been the industry standard in most people’s opinion.

 

I am interested to know what these things are, care to share?

 

hey i'm going to look into the whipple the website claims it's a bigger unit

 

The 2.3 Whipple is the same size as the TVS2300. Just a FYI
A TVS 1900 is a 1.9

 

While of course this is just my opinion and not to be taken for anymore than that, I’m sure the more you stand back and look at one the more items you would start noticing, but items such as AN fittings for the coolant hoses instead of bungs, the heat exchanger itself and mounting bracket, the coolant reservoir and how it mounts. The fuel rail, while maybe not functionally better, looks more like the typical aftermarket anodized extruded pieces. Of course the large intercooler is nice and that the thing just looks beefy all together is cool. Pound for pound at the typical lower street boost levels, I doubt one would see a dimes worth of difference in performance in a comparably sized unit though. It would also appear the overall height of the unit becomes an issue when installing one on an SUV however, as I believe I noticed in the manual you would need to raise the body a small amount for cowl clearance, however I didn’t pay that much attention to it and could be mistaken on that.

 

I see, wasn't doubting your observations just was curious what you noticed. I have seen a couple in person and they did look nice, I just didn't take time and look really close. After my expirence with KB I have no use for a company with bad customer service. If I need something like a pulley I want to be able to make a call and have it. Period, no BS.

 

That I totally agree with. I know their reputation, but Ya know it wasn't as if Whipple as treated us bad lately or anything like that, they have answered and/or returned every phone call, however in this case they just aren't prepared to help us out yet with pushing the kit much beyond its original parameters. Too bad, as I really believe it has potential, there just needs to parts available to do so and that’s where some of the companies have a leg up. Now if this thing was for a Cobra or something along those lines there is plenty of support, but they have had that market covered for years.

 

It really is unfortunate. I wish there were other aftermarket companies willing to step up and offer some options for upgrade pullies for the Whipple units.

 

Ya, I am really shocked no one does yet.

 

Me too
