TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

Can Anybody tell me what companies made TPI specific power adders for the L98? So far I know ProCharger and Vortech, what others?

I wish! but nope. Just trying to make sure I have a good grasp on stuff and know when I see something that isn't one of these 2 kits that the guy has put in a lot of work to customize something to make it work.

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

Torqstorm makes a kit. Seems like it would be a nice little street setup.

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

Don't see a TPI kit on the Torqstorm website only for carburated units and LS engines. Have any pics of their TPI setup?

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

They don't offer a kit for the TPI but all that is needed is to devise a route for the charge pipe to go. I believe that these housings can be rotated but don't quote me on that.


I kind of wanted to try one of these kits out on my lb9 but I just don't know whether or not I should shell money out for it or just keep the car as is.

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

Do Vortech still make kits for tip thirdgens? I couldn’t find anything listed on their website.

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

A phone call, some impromptu fake tears, a sob story, maybe they could be persuaded to put together a kit for a thirdgen? Can't imagine there's much to it out of the ordinary other than reducing inventory of an item that doesn't sell well...

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

They wont make kits again. You can pretty easily modify a kit from a SBC tuner kit, its what im rocking now. Wish i went V7 YSI tuner kit instead of a V3 though.

Re: TPI Supercharger Kits and Turbo Kits

I believe Powerdyne made a system for the L98 as well...
