I'm considering adding either a supercharger or Twin Turbo system? Please post your opinions or recommendations! Thanks.

ProCharger and Magnuson are a couple of the leaders for superchargers. ProCharger will run around $6500 and the Magnuson will run a little less. The ProCharger will run off the belt system where as the Magnuson is a root style system that is mounted directly above your engine.

Hope this helps!

Twin Turbo all the way!!! I had a ProCharger D1SC kit for a year, had many issues with the belt shredding or jumping off the tensioner despite getting it laser aligned several times by the Gates tool. The APS TT kit has no lag, power under the curve is lust-worthy, no parasitc loss...the power delivery is smooth and effortless!!! If possible drive both setups and see which one fits your habits.

Good luck!

I think the APS kit is the way to go. they had it on sale for 7k which is very hard to beat. the turbos have great manners, and you can turn up the boost with a forged engine if you want some really big numbers.

I don't have a c6 yet, but my TT Z06 puts down 796 to the wheels which has proven to be "enough"

Twin turbo would be a nice "add on" $7k??? I didn't realize you could get one for under $10k is this a bare bones unit? I like the sound of this :)

I'm researching a few different twin turbo systems as our Silver 05 project Vette will be sporting a system here soon enough. I will post who we decided to go with and our view of pro's and con's of the various systems out there!

How long have you been running the APS TT on your Vette? Do you have any dyno sheets to share?
