I have yet to figure out why you are wanting to supercharge your Austin Healey MGT

RE: Superchargine the MGT
LOL, sorry guys, I just got tired of typing Mustang GT all the time on the Mustang boards.
So I shortened it to MGT long ago.
Started doing it after I got a Legacy GT and we'd just call it the LGT on the Subaru boards.

RE: Superchargine the MGT
Seems like the Saleen is the one to get, since Twin Screw's seem to be a bit more
preferred than Roots, and are quieter.

RE: Superchargine the MGT
Just spoke to Chris over at Whipple Industries.
The Supercharger kit for the 05/06 MGT will be available July 1st 2006.
He stated you could also go to the FRPP catalog to get a list of "authorized" Ford dealers who
can install it for you, and stated he believed the car would retain the factory warranty by
doing so. That would be sweet.

Twin screw blowers are so much more efficient over roots technology, they aren't even in the same universe.

I think Birdieman has put it best ^^^^^^ Saleen All around is one of the best in the biz.

RE: Superchargine the MGT
I just called ONE ( key word .. one ) local Ford Dealers today 6/14/06 ..
I asked " do you install Roush S/C.. ? "
Him " NO .. and that WILL void your warranty " ( WILL ) with a strong tone of voice..
I think it just depends on which dealer you go to.. that and I wouldn't get a Roush
anyway.. not for that cost ( bang for the buck ) I would go Saleen or Procharger..
I have a guy on EBAY trying to sell me a Saleen S/C kit.. ANYTHING.. at ALL that I need to know before I shell out the money.. ???????
like am I going to need this and that .. ( my point I don't want to spend a extra 1K or more than I thought... )
thanks in advance...

RE: Superchargine the MGT
What about centrifugal superchargers? Are they worth looking into? Advantages/disadvantages?
