My friend runs a vortech charger at 8.7 psi with stock injectors and piggyback with HUGE inter cooler... producing 240 RWHP!!!! Its been running for that for about 140 000km with NO issues whatsoever... It runs stock compression as well....
The inter cooler makes a HUGE difference to get the temps down...
I prefer the roots charger as the centrifugal ones has a turbo like lag...

This is my build....
Hope to crank it in the next 2 months...

Always fascinates me how what you would think are the same cars/engines give such different results!
Interesting thread too - apart from when you drop into your mother tongue I grew up in die Vrystaat - or Oranje Vrystaat as it was then - but since moving to Au have lost most of my Afrikaans
I've talked to Dave about the intercooler manifolds but actually bought any yet. I'll be interested to see your results!
