I did a Magnusen tsv1900. Pretty thorough and install was easy. I installed mine with nothing but hand tools, no air tools.
I may hit you up for some info. I have a TVS 1900 I’ll be installing on my 2008

Tease
Now can you share the specs on what you did?
Did you do the work yourself?

Nice. I made 285/310 with just a tune. I'm trying to prepare for a dod delete.
Did BTR build a package for your specific build?
Did you install everything yourself?

I did all that and then added a Whipple. And it cost WAY more and has way more power to boot. Lol.

Did you get the same cam?
Haven't dyno'd it yet- AWD dynos around here are booked months in advance and I never made a reservation. Now I have a new project lol.

The positive displacement superchargers look so easy and simple to throw on that's probably what I'll keep an eye out for but probably the larger 2.3l or 2.9l. Only thing I don't like about them is trying to keep IATs down.
And yea I was kinda surprised so i looked them up to see a few of the newer supercharged RRs run high 12s/low 13s stock :lol: right out of the hole I pulled a car on him and he stayed there till about 80-85mph then walked right on by

This. I started a build thread, there's a link in my sig. It needs a lot of little stuff; it never got quite finished by the PO. Man I gotta get those front windows tinted to match, every time I look at it I go crazy lol.

I've been debating between Whipple, Maggie and Pro - or all forged internals...i'm a N/A type of guy, but in the end just comes down to how much HP for little $ I have to spend lol

I understand. I just always wanted a blown V8 with a cam and headers so I went for it. I'm running straight pipes too (actually I'm running an Aero Turbo muffler which makes it louder that straight pipes) because I wanted it loud too. The thing sounds amazing under throttle. And it doesn't drive me crazy just driving normal like I was afraid it would. Actually I can't really make myself drive normal anymore.
