Pontiac’s new G8 performance sedan has all the right stuff – style, performance and a reasonable $30,000 price tag. It’s pretty quick too, running 13.7s at 104mph off the showroom floor. However, the potential for real Super Car performance is as easy as bolting on a new Magna Charger MP1900 TVS supercharger for a whopping 135hp increase in rear wheel horsepower, lowering quarter-mile times to 12.5 at 112mph. The Magna Charger G8 supercharger is legal for installation in California carrying CARB E.O. Number D-488-14.
Magna Charger’s new MP1900 supercharger technology is the same used for the new LS9 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor design features a high-twist 160º helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler discharge temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the result of the unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic losses during normal driving. The Magna Charger also interfaces seamlessly with GM’s Active Fuel Management system that cuts the engine to four cylinders at light throttle.
The Magna Charger G8 system comes complete with a new aluminum intake manifold, integral water-to-air intercooler, new fuel injectors and all necessary brackets, connectors, hardware and any needed specialized tools. The supercharger has a self-contained lubrication system that is maintenance-free. Calibration is included with a handheld computer programer that re-programs the factory ECU, and stores the original calibration for possible future use. A full instruction manual with color photos makes the step-by-step installation process easy to follow.
All Magna Charger supercharger systems carry a Standard 3-Year Limited warranty on the supercharger system, and Magna Charger also offers an optional 36,000-mile/3 Year Powertrain Warranty.
