on the first one the turbo is spinning backwards? not good

[MAXetc]

It's not a turbo...These are v2 Vortech Superchargers.

nice colors did you paint your intake manifold or did you buy somewhere if you bought it can i know where

[MAXetc]

Powder Coated...It's the original aluminum intake.

These are centrifugal supercharger. Think of a turbo compressor driven by a belt, but with a linear progression of boost (boost is a function of engine rpm).

same way as a turbo just the BOV stays open longer

guys i need a supercharger how can i find this thing??????

[SunfireSL]

ya but on a turbo, it keeps making boost when u let off the throttle thats why u need a bov. With a supercharger, it doesnt keep making boost like a turbo....

[Dolladog]

How did u get all that yellow, Paint it or u bought it like that?

[DARQMX]

of course it is possible, A supercharger uses boost just like a turbo, and when boost builds up in the intake before the throttle body closes it needs to release somewhere and that is where a bov comes in so it does not hurt the charger, or a BPV like on turbos.

were can i buy a supercharger  dud i have a 99 SE

[maximase86]

It's a centrifugal supercharger. Though I believe roots superchargers have a recirc valve.

i didnt know it was possible to have a bov on a supercharger. How does it work????
