Anyone seen this yet? Procharger superchager

Any update [MENTION=556833]Blasko1022[/MENTION] ? I'm about to pull the trigger on the procharger or the magnuson and would love to hear some real world experience.

I don't have experience with the actual kit but have had boost applications on a few of my vehicles.


Magnuson is great for down low torque and decent power across the power band. Could possibly heat stroke quickly because smaller after cooler.

ProChargers are great up top ... theyre more like turbos that make more power as you whine them up. But they are more efficient and can be boosted more and are more upgradeable in a sense of cooling.

Really depends on what you use your rig for ... and where you need the power
 
One guy roasted his trans with it. I believe he was abusing it and didn't add an AUX trans cooler.

Bottom line, Magnuson will give you power starting down low and the Procharger is mid to top end power with higher peak numbers.
 
Mostly street and lots of highway, but trips into the woods on the weekends. I'm not a crawler but did armor up before Covid for a planned rock run that never happened. So mostly getting back power from the extra weight. I don't plan on 4lo grunting my way over boulders which is why I'm eyeing the procharger over the magnuson. My local installer though is giving me the same price after labor for both, so either is still an option.
 
I’ve had the Magnuson for about 10k miles now. I drive 50/50 city highway. No real change in mpg. Well unless you can’t keep your foot out of it. I don’t notice a huge difference in town but maybe I’m used to it by now. Where is shines is on the highway. The truck never leaves 5th gear, no more gear hunting for grades. Passing power is always right there. It just makes it more enjoyable. If you are expectant a race machine then this isn’t the one you want. It’s still a 5,000 lb brick. If you are going to install it yourself, which I recommend, it’s very easy to do. Just take your time at it. Something else my truck rarely ever sees above 3k rpm anymore, unless I’m having fun with it.

This is good information. I'm thinking about getting the Magnuson. I assume it comes with a new tune? If so, how long does it take to get the new tune?

If I remember correctly, once I sent the info to Magnuson, I had their tune in 1-2 days.
