Which Supercharger would you go with?

Timmy. like JL, I did my own Mag install and would be happy to discuss how it went and what I would change in the instructions. I would count on a bit more than 8-10 hours. I had three mechanics, myself and two others, all of who have quite a bit of experience. No special skill needed but lots of careful torquing and lots of steps. With breaks for meals it took us about 12 hours including time to update vehicle software.

The good news is whatever you pick you'll have friends here to share their experience and help out.

I just remembered, one or more of these SC's requires a different oil filter setup, correct? Which one was it, and is a good or bad thing?

Wow, found an AWESOME document on the Eaton 1320 TVS SC that Magnuson uses. Pickles, that has your name all over it -> http://www.engine-expo.com/forum_200...rt_walling.pdf

The document helps to answer some of the questions on why the Magnuson youtube videos seem to indicate a quieter operation than the other SC videos I'm seeing.

Here's another question... Which SC is the quietest in operation? Don't get me wrong, I understand no matter how you do it that seeking more horsepower will always result in more sound, but if I have the choice and all things being equal, I'd like the quietest SC I could get.

I partially ask because I was just watching youtube videos of the Sprintex installed on JK's, and the Sprintex seemed noticeably louder than than the Mag SC videos.

Here's another question... Which SC is the quietest in operation?

I don't know anything about sprintex. RIPP and PRODIGY are tied for the cool sounds award. Mag is less noticeable.

When I roll into a jeep show slow, I keep it in low gear, and let the rpm climb, people ALWAYS tell me BB sounds like an Fighter Jet.

That whistle....oooooo that whistle. You know something is lurking under the ram air hood. Nothing on this truck is for show.

With the turbo, the PSSSSSSSSSST blow off is where the money is at. both equally good.
