x charger intercooled
i spoke with someone from explorerexpress yesterday and he said that they should have one available within the next two months, i cant wait to get one. they said on the prototype with the intercooler they achieved an additional 40+ hp with a basic tune!

RE: x charger intercooled
It just seems like the intercooled x will be so expensive it would almost seem better just to spend a little more and get a turbo. I do love how the x looks under the hood though. Why is the x-charger so expensive btw? I thought roots type blowers were supposed to be the cheapest form of superchargers.

RE: x charger intercooled
dont quote me on this, but an Xcharger system is expensive because the amount of parts. custom intake manifold, blower, inlet housing, egr piping, etc.
its not like a turbo which is basically pipes, a turbo, wastegate, and an intercooler if so chosen.
same with a centri blower.
im 90% sure that an xcharger with an intercooler will definately be a better track car then a centri car with the same boost level.
but i thought i remembered reading it would be roughly a $1200 upgrade. even at 800-1000 it makes it a 5k+ kit right?
