search for blitz compressor or blitz supercharger

i would do it, but don't have time

 

There's a billion posts on this, do a search.

We had one in the xB I drove for work, it was a blast. We actually got it about 2 months before the actual release of the s/c and they did the install and everything.

If we had to pay $3000 for it and if I had to pay with my money instead of my boss' I wouldn't have sprung for it. Power gains aren't huge. More of a novelty than anything...don't expect to make your xB a fast car unless you're willing to do some serious work on your internals. Can only safely run about 6 pounds of boost.

 

i am use to driving turbo's i have a saab 900 turbo and a 2000 jetta turbo.i still love the smoothness of the other two when thier turbo's kicks in .
But i am looking to adventally upgrading everthing when i have the time thanks .for the info i ve been following these car since they first came out in Cali and just paid off my VW so i just purchased one last week let the fun begin... cheers

 

i say, if you want it....do it.

let me know if you need/want help....

 

Congrats on your new car. I love my xB, most fun i've had with a car for years.

The Blitz s/c kit is neat. The electronic clutch that controls the boost is pretty cool, and I have had no complaints with ours. It's not disappointing because I'm getting what I expect out of it.

Compared to a boosted VW, the xB is super slow. With forced induction, the xB is just plain slow. It's faster than stock, it's fun to drive, but don't expect a corvette killer.

If you know that going into it and you have the $3000 to burn, I say go for it! You'll have one of few boosted xB's, that's for sure.

 

it's on my list to do .i don,t expect to have a 20 second car but it would be nice .what abot that airmeter chip that's suppost to boost H/P is that bull or does that work.
well i have some money to burn but i'am going to take things slow i have to start on the rims and tires first.then the engine and ground effects.work and progress !

 

20 second car?

KiL

 

Those "performance chips" you buy off ebay for $30 are a waste of money and bad for your car. You can buy an identical little resister from Radio Shack for like $1. Don't bother.

 

The Blitz SC will show noticeable gains in torque, but the pulley system eats up whatever hp you would have gained.

 

i would rather go with the Power Enterprises Supercharger. Seems like the gains are much better

 

how so?

PE=122whp...Blitz=123whp

 

he's right...

i would have gone the blitz route, if i found it cheap enough...

 

oops..my bad. i was told from the owners of the PE that it was better. is it true that you can get 10psi with the PE one?

 

yes, but its really, really, really.......really tricky to do...lol (plus, the motors don't seem to like that much boost)

most people that have the PE prolly didn't try the Blitz...and vise versa

 

What a ridiculous thing to say!

 

im gonna be goin Blitz soon

 

do it...let me know if i can help...

 

You can come help me when I get mine....LOL What else should I get in addition to the blitz?

 

That's what I was thinking...
How could adding the pulley to drive the s/c negate ALL the hp you'd gain from forcing extra air in? If you're trying to run 1 pound of boost, I could see that. But at 6psi you've definately surpassed the drag you've added.

BTW, roots type blowers are cool.
