yup, and now don't quote me on this... But, it seems as if the XCharger needs the tuner installed in order to run properly... it's just a hunch... lol

All joking aside, is there any one out there who can lend me a helping hand with getting the wet-x system up and running(i.e not having pump turn on automatically, how to adjust it to where I want it, and what fluid to use.)?

LOL! At least you can laugh about it now. Probably took you half the time to install it this time around huh. Took me about 12 hrs, but I was pokey about it, not really in any hurry.

Can't help you on the wet-x system, didn't want it. Have you asked on the mc? Lots of X-men over there...

It did take about half the time, and the wiring was alot easier too! I have a boost gauge hooked up and she makes very close to 11lbs. I love it. Wife is scared of it....lol.

You should take a look at the wet-x sometime, for the money, it gave me a little more peace-of-mind knowing that temps would go down.

I just started saving up for an X-Charger, and had a quick question. Is it safe to run the X along with say a 75 shot of nitrous? Or do I have to go into the internals? What would be needed if I wanted to go this route?

For those interested in the longevity of the X-Charger on the Mustang 4.0 V6 I now have over 45,000 miles on mine and this includes plenty of hard driving, open track days and some autocross. This is the HiPo kit with 93 octane performance + tune and 3" pulley most of the time. I experimented with the 2.8 pulley and found I needed more exhaust and probably Wet-X or intercooler to see any real benefits from it. I have not tried the 2.8 pulley since installing the FRPP dual exhaust.

Well I've suddenly become interested on getting an X. Now I live in California so those of you that live here and have an X installed help me out here...I guess its a MUST to get the Ca-Spec instead of the Hi-Po. What kind of #'s are you getting with 6-7lbs of boost. I'm more interested in the Torque than anything. Any help is appreciated =)

Get the HiPo kit, plus the parts to convert to Cali spec when it comes time to smog

Some of us are doing it that way.

A-town... is that Alameda?

Whats the difference between the 2? I'm looking to get at least 350HP out of this....LOL ok I'm gonna admit, I know zero about superchargers so whats gonna be needed to achieve that, as in boost, parts etc...Is everything I need gonna come with it when I decide to order it?

"A-town" LOL its a city outside of Bakersfield by the name of Arvin...A hole in the ground at best LOL

The Cali kit uses a GT airbox. The HiPo kit use a CAI with K&N filter and larger diameter MAF housing. HiPo has a different tune than Cali.

I don't think you'll be getting 350 rwhp though. More like just under 300/300 for HiPo with a 2.8 pulley. For those numbers you need to go intercooled turbo or something.

Steigemier said he could port and blueprint the blower for +20 hp. Meth/water injection can get you some more. X-intercooler too, when it becomes available.

X-charger kit is very complete, and it's an easy install.
