Anyone hear of any deals or sales out there. Stage 1 is a great starting point,but I will entertain better set up.

Steeda has the Magnuson for 6k, plus you can get 10% off from them.

I agonized over this decision for a while. I looked at VMP, a vortech from Beefcake, steeda's magnuson, etc. For me it came down to the warranty. I searched high and low looking to not cut my timing cover, or make any huge mods. The vortech you need to cut a lot of hoses, modify the fan shroud, etc. and the TVS you need to modify the timing cover. There is no way around modificaiton. So then I searched for a good automatic solution. I narrowed it down to VMP and Roush. I like the VMP but the cost for the Stage 2 kit is high at $6,999. $1K higher than Roush. So I split the difference. I bought the Roush and then purchased the VMP wiring harnes kit for $149.

So you looked to not cut your timing cover but still went with the tvs setup? Isn't there a boss in the intake valley you need to grind down too? Don't you need to make more modifications with a PD kit than the centri kit?

Yeah. I weighed both against one another. Cut the timing cover or cut a bunch of water hoses. Either looked equally as complex. The TVS needs no grinding in the intake valley. You do need to re-position the knock sensors to a different clocking position. There are two areas that need to be cut on the timng cover (2013-2014 model years, more areas on the 2011-2012 model years). I am also a certified master tech so I am not trying to avoid something overly complicated. I just wanted to use the solution that I felt woudl lend itself well to my automatic and be good to the engine.

The centrifugals build power way up stairs and teh TVS more so down stairs. I would rather have the juice downstairs than upstairs. Easier on the components. Just my opinion.

Both solutons offer some major benefits. Just like vanilla and chocolate but again I can keep my warranty up to 50/60K with the Roush and since I am a certified Master Tech I can do the install myself and submit for the warranty as it either needs to be installed by an ASE tech or dealer for the add-on warranty to be valid. I can't get that with the Vortech beause I am runnign an auto and they offer no factory auto solution. They referred me to beefcake and they know their stuff but in the end I went TVS.

You can get 5% off on a vmp pkg and someone else has 1 year free financing.
If your going to add boost, you might as well do it right the first time and get the upgraded injectors, HE and CAI.

2014GHIGGT

The Roush kit comes with larger injectors #47 if I am not mistaken.

Blown CS

yes it does, but you can upgrade to id1000.

Yes i have looked at all options,thanks for codes and input. cutting on the roush seems scary but doable.
