Those of you with the PE Supercharger Kit, is it loud? Does it have a nice whine when its boosting?

Im coming close to making a decision on what kit (turbo/s/c) im going to use to boost the box.. Im starting to lean towards a supercharger, mostly because I want to keep reliability.. the PE Supercharger seems to be the best way to go, reading some of the old posts on them. I guess they put down the most power out of the available s/c kits for the xb.

 

I have also read, that you should not run an aftermarket header with the PE S/C, as it will cause the charger to put out around 11 lbs of boost. I happen to already have a Greddy 4-1 Header, so would I have a problem with the PE?

I have also read that the PE's power is mostly in the high-end, as where the blitz puts down less power, but has more low-mid torque.

Can anyone help me on this, would i have a problem running the PE on my 06 auto xb, with aftermarket headers?

Or is the Blitz kit a better way to go?

 

wow 11lbs of boost is way to much for our little stock 1.5's i have the Greddy turbo kit, and as for reliability, well I have nothing but good things to say about it, had it now for almost 30k miles and no problems whatsoever, gas mpg is still decent too, i can get about 30 when staying within reasonable mph...

 

Can't get the PE here in the states. You'll have to go thru Japan for one.

 

Oh really, I think i can...

Is anyone running this kit on their xb?

 

not a bad price either

 

pretty sure there was a thread about someone having it not too long ago....and i recall like what Iowa was saying, that its pretty hard if not impossible to come by here in the states....

 

how do you like the Greddy Kit? how much power does it give you. I've been leaning towards the blitz s/c... Hows the Greddy T?

 

Well as I said, its an awesome kit, reliability is awesome, not to mention that I can upgrade it if I want for more power, It is true that they say that once you go boost you never want to go back.....i will elaborate on the kit more when I'm done studying for my midterms haha

 

Go ahead and try them. But they will tell you they can't get them after they try for weeks. Been there, done that. They only have them listed on thier site because they probably used to be able to get the old kit. PE has changed the charger itself to one made by Rotrex. These dealers probably only ever sold 1 or 2 of the old kits and don't even realize there is a new one out, or that they can't get it. PE USA can't even sell the kit. They couldn't even sponsor me with one because of Rotrex's distribution rules. Call Hideo at PE, I can get you his # if you want, but he will tell you the same thing.

Boosted can get you the kit, but it has to come thru Japan. No dealer here in the states can get them.

I know its late, but that's what the PE sounds like at idle.

 

i had already seen that vid... I actually cancelled my order for the Blitz today, and the Greddy Turbo kit and FMIC are on the way to PTuning! Cant wait...

 

Its my car=] Ain't she pretty? lol.

 

so you decided to go with the snail? Wise choice, just my opinion though, what are you being charged for the beast?

 

good call
