This may have already been posted/discussed, but has anyone out there read the article in the Herald-Sun Cars Guide Feb.11 regarding supercharging magna 3.5l's. There's a mob in West. Aust. called Sprintex Superchargers(a division of Australian Automotve Components) that can fit a twin scroll supercharger, cold air intake, modify engine mapping and fuel delivery, slightly change gear ratios, and add a transmission cooler(for the 5speed tiptronic) for around $7,600!!! These mod's raise power to 226kw :D at 5200 revs,and torque to 422Nm :cool: at 4000 revs,and take 1.5 sec's off 0-100 times. Very impressive!! I know $7000 is a lot of money, but for a one visit job, these instant and guaranteed improvements are attractive. Now for Tattslotto!! :doubt: lol Perfect for a new TL VRX AWD, (recently advertised for $31,995, bargain!) and for under $40k you have a vehicle which can seriously challenge (in the words of Sprintex managing director, Tony Hamilton) " in performance terms at least, the Audi A4 turbo quattro, Volvo S60 AWD, and even the AWD HSV coupe."........VERY impressive :D ... I want one!! Any thoughts??

Yes we have read and re read the articles and there has been a lot of positive feedback too.

And RPW are also designing superchargers too.

Rpw supacharger, lol

Yes genocide we are kinda lol at them but well see how it goes with them. Cause they also are gonna have an intercooled one unlike the place in WA which means more power.

Tom

I'm sure we can put a front mount intercooler on the sprintex without many hassles..

But yeah, all good food for thought

Well i guess RPW are good but only if u have the work done on location in perth, like Velocity.

Then i guess their work would be much better then if they sent u the parts to the other side of Aus. Since u would have them do the work and we would really have some idea about say the Cams that have been fairly troublsome.
