Alot of Poweradder Questions - Needs Info Please


Ok, now this is where I become stuck and need answers. I dont think Im getting the clue or my facts right with some things, so Im asking around to see how people go about adding some serious bawlz to their cars.



1. So theres TwinTurbo setups and kits built for V6s already. Ive seen em. Ive also read on how people hit up junkyards and find TT kits off 5.0s and they install those on their V6 and they work just the same, yet they have to fabcricate a bit. So, whats really the difference, if any? Like, would I just buy a 5.0 setup and just make it work on my V6 with a few tweeks? Or am I not seeing something...


2. I was originally gonna go with the centrifugal blower, preferably that V2SQ from Vortech, then I start reading how Prochargers are alot better to people who own them and have owned them. So the question is, what is the main difference between a Supercharger [Vortech] and a Procharger? Some info on that would be good too...


3. Intercoolers. Ok, so I find this company [BTI] and they make intercooler systems for V6s all the way to Cobras. Yet, its just that. An intercooler system by itself. For me to get more in depth so you have a better understanding of what Im trying to get at, for example, I buy this intercooler system now, but then buy a turbo a month later, how would I know that they would be able to work together, ya know?? If I just bought the intercooler system by itself, how would I know that it would be able to hook up a poweradder if purchased? Would I have to buy an intercooler system of the same brand as the poweradder I buy, or are intercooler systems "universal"?




Im not looking for answers becuz Im fixing to buy my poweradder now, its just good food for thought for the future. I still havent bought my stroker kit yet, so Im a ways to go. Though I would appreciate info now so once Im looking for my poweradder setup, I wont be doing this searching for something that may not work at the time. I would know what exactly to look for.



Thanx to everyones feedback. I greatly appreciate it!!

Or am I not seeing something... you will have to making the piping fit to ur intake design..also alot of time the piping will be different,body styles,engine size ect that u have to put up...when people take the tt setups the use the turbos and other nits and bits they have so they need to buy those thigns...also they might use some if any of the piping from the old tt setup..

2. I was originally gonna go with the centrifugal blower, preferably that V2SQ from Vortech, then I start reading how Prochargers are alot better to people who own them and have owned them. So the question is, what is the main difference between a Supercharger [Vortech] and a Procharger? Some info on that would be good too... quality and procharger come intercooled...colder intake air = more bhp


3. Intercoolers. Ok, so I find this company [BTI] and they make intercooler systems for V6s all the way to Cobras. Yet, its just that. An intercooler system by itself.

If I just bought the intercooler system by itself, how would I know that it would be able to hook up a poweradder if purchased? Would I have to buy an intercooler system of the same brand as the poweradder I buy, or are intercooler systems "universal"? u have fit to the intercooler lets just say the piping running from the s/c or turbo is 3" but the intake is 3 1/2" u gotta get and adapter to make ur piping fit on that...ur best bet would be to buy the kit all in one such as tmaturbo.com or a procharger setup they both come with intercoolers...

Though I would appreciate info now so once Im looking for my poweradder setup, I wont be doing this searching for something that may not work at the time. I would know what exactly to look for. get the stroker kit first then the power adder....

1. Get a kit for the v6 at www.tmaturbos.com. They can do a custom build for you if you want, but I plan on a TT in the future and I am going through them.
the 5.0 kit will take a lot of fabbing the guys are just getting the turbos off the cars for cheap and then fabbing their own system which isn't the most difficult thing but if you haven't done it before it will not be easy.

2.Main difference is procharger comes with an intercooler. Not sure if there is any difference in the time it takes them to make boost, but the intercooler is the main thing I see.

3. Any intercooler will work with any poweradder, but putting a intercooler on a NA engine and then adding the turbo would probably give you more fabbing. All the turbo kits i have seen for the v6 come with an intercooler or at least offer it as an item to add on.
