pretty sure they run the turbo feeding the procharger, then the procharger runs through the intercooler and in the engine...

Wouldnt it have to eventually bypass the procharger? At higher RPMS the Procharger is limited in the CFM Area, While turbos are not.

they have prochargers that are capable of making 4000cfm of air. the smallest procharger is capable of 1400cfm. the stock H2E turbo is only good for 900cfm and i think the sledgehammer is good for 1400 cfm but the sledgehammer is probably nice and hard to spool.. anyways i'm sure with prochargers being capable of this kind of air i'm sure they are not very limited in the CFM field..

Minimal when compared to the drive pressure issues you have to fight with a single or twin turbo set up...

wut he said ^^^. i have also heard the prochargers can build 40psi of boost. that's A LOT of boost for a belt driven, and since you run them with a turbo that's gotta run like a scalded dog!! LoL

What they say they will do and what they do is sometimes different. I could never get more than 20psi out of them on their own. (Procharger rated it at 38) But matched up with a turbo - now thats a different story.....

yes and no. if your setup is big enough you will have to wastegate your charger/procharger.

either way its just alot of work, and to each their own.
