detjoe Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 better know as the radix magna charger no its not but made by the same company. radix=old TVS=new If someone tell you that they are equal they are not telling you the truth. The TVS blowers are very nice for us Stock displacement guys. the only way I could see using a radix was if it was used and I got a hell of a deal. There is alot more on the table wit the TVS units. there was a time when everyone knew what their choice was for FI...now its like guys dont have a clue so many guys have done crap load of work on these trucks and document it so other can learn...and guys dont know who makes superchargers. do some reading, asking questions that have been answered to death kills user fourms, old guys get tired of newer guys not reading up, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. or else I am selling you Direct Exhaust Injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter3 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 You can get a complete radix kit from www.superchargersonline.com for $4899. All you would need to do is get the truck tuned after the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkdivr Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Look on here, or on PT.net for leftcoast32. He's a Magnacharger dealer, and a great guy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Lamanna Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 if you want a noticable whine sound, the top mount Kenne Bell Intercooled Superchangers are awesome. (IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Just for reference, here are two Magnacharger Radix (MP 112's) SSS's. Click on the picture, turn up your volume and see if you can hear the whine Honestly, being in the driver's seat...I never knew it sounded like that until I saw this video.

misterp Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 FWIW the Prochargers will have a noticeable gear whine... Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
