Hey
which turbos are the best for my v6 08? (powerhouse)
or should i get a supercharger (procharger-xcharger)
whatever is easier to install/tune, i really want to put about 10-12 psi boost.

 

You will be able to put more power down with the PH turbo. The x is easier to install and is the more popular FI for a reason. 10-12 psi seems like a little much to me. I think 8-9 is the more widely accepted safe range to be in unless you start building your motor and what not. Someone with more experience will chime in with more definitive answers.

 

the install part would be the xcharger. most have been installed by the owner. the turbo would have to be installed by a shop unless you can weld. I'd say tuning is even if you have it professionally tuned. If i was going to purchase a turbo i'd get the forced4 system.

Interesting. This is the first i've heard of this kit. I'd consider it if I weren't already set on somehting else.

 

I run the X-Charger HIPO + 2.8 pulley which gives me 10-12psi boost. I installed it myself in my garage, and it runs great. Don't have experience with the others, but the x-charger looks sexy, sounds sexy and performs sexy. Can't go wrong with it.

 

I'm not sure why everyone only mentions the powerhouse turbo when there are other kits that are just a good.

 

It's all about numbers. There are many more PH turbos on the road than the STS or Forced4 kits. That's why you hear more about PH. The X-Charger isn't the only supercharger available for the 4.0L, but that's the one you hear the most about because it is the best selling FI for the 4.0L.

 

then what are some of the other superchargers than x-charger?

 

Paxton/Vortech and Procharger. I feel like i'm missing something.

 

I heard the XCharger is the safest way to go...also, I heard that Vortech gives you some find of problems down the road, i dont know that for a fact but I remember reading something on Vortech.
