Do all Procharger kits come with the coolant reservoir?

What's the difference between the stage 1 and stage 2 procharger besides the stage 2 having the upgraded intercooler? They both come with P-1SC and if you add the stage 2 intercooler as an option on the HO kit it's still 200$ cheaper than the stage 2. Also is the vortech v3 comparable to the P-1SC or D-1SC as far as how much power it can make?

Stage II also is run on it's own belt. Does not use the serpentine.

Stage 2 runs a separate 8 rib belt

Phil, Did you find the problem yet? Has Lund responded with a tuning fix?

This is the kit i wanted to go with, but after seeing all these problems i am not sure:headbonk:.

It's a new platform...

Agreed. We with Procharger should be posting pics and how we install our kits to prevent issues and help others. I will be posting up once my car gets here.

No. Still haven't figured it out. It still throws the P2006 and P2007 Code during normal cruising, and apparently the IMRC is not opening all the way on WOT. I have gone over the car 10 times and traced all the lines, even had a buddy come over and take a look. The instructions are pretty straight forward - went step by step. No luck, still doing the same thing. Tuner said that this tune has been used in similar setups with no issues. Believes it is vacuum leak. I don't see where it would be coming from as its a simple setup. Tuner also said that the IMRC can be turned off in the tune but is a PITA to do with the 15s.

Car idles and drives normal, aside from surging while normal cruising. Seems like it happens right at the threshold between when the car goes into boost during normal driving. I have heard this is normal with race bypass...

Also, the car is pullied for 12psi. Procharger supplied the 5.00 pulley and I see about 10.7 psi most of the time. I am not too sure how accurate the digital boost gauge is but it shoots to 16psi right before 7200 RPMs. I called Procharger and they said the car shouldn't be making anywhere near that boost with that pulley, so might be the gauge.

Not impressed with how the car feels under WOT either. My pullied 04 cobra felt stronger. Hoping this is due to the IMRC issue.

If this continues, I am considering taking the car to Evolution as they are only about 4 hours away. Maybe they can figure it out.

Ahhh... kit isn't bad. If I could do it all over again I would not get the race bypass valve, i would use the one that the kit comes with. I would also only do stage 1 kit with D1 and upgraded intercooler.

Why would you do stage 1 and not stage 2?

I really didn't need the stage 2 kit for the boost level I am running at, and it is just one less step to do when installing the kit if you go with stage 1. Just have to remove crank bolt to install new crank pulley with stage 2 kit. It would have been easier with another set of hands. Did the old screwdriver trick in the inspection plate area to prevent the crank from spinning when removing bolt(automatic) and the screwdriver kept falling out.

Ahh that sucks. Yea because I'm going to be ordering the procharger or Vortech v3 soon. If I go with procharger I'll go with the D-1SC and stage 2 intercooler. I guess if I'm planning on keeping it at the 550-650 whp range the extra 200 bucks for the stage 2 dedicated belt is a waste right? Or just get the vortech v3 for cheaper that comes with an intercooler the size of prochargers stage 2 intercooler... Decisions decisions lol.

I had the paxton kit on my 14 GT, which is very similar to the vortech kit, minus the head unit. The reasons I went with the Procharger kit over the vortech or paxton was due to the cutting of the fan shroud that I had to do with the 14(believe it’s still the same way with 15 and vortech/paxton). I didn't want to cut anything, or remove the fans for install. I wanted the easiest avenue this time around... HA! Also, I wanted the noise of the procharger. If I am spending 6k for a SC kit, I want some damn noise roaring from the engine bay. There is no shortage of noise with the Procharger kit. Couldn't really hear anything with Paxton, and I believe the vortech is the same way.

I had no issues with the in the 14. Ran a best of 11.2 at 128, manual car. Could have gone faster but only took it to track a couple of times.
