Makes sense. I had a 5 speed Audi turbo a few years ago that was fun to drive if you kept the rpms up. Was not aware of the installation differences. Thanks.

Precut gaskets seem like the way to go. I have a few Spearco and other intercoolers (new) laying around I could loan for the build if they fit your needs.
deleting the pair system is no problem, swap in 95-97 exhaust manifolds and change out the coolant pipe running from the t-stat housing back and youll have clearance. i deleted my pair system about a year ago and i havent had any issues so far

I've been doing more research and precut gaskets are used on whipple systems so I'll do that. I went out with the core I have and it's tight but the hood shuts which is what I was hoping for. I'll look into the intercooler more but right now I'm focused on the core system. Thanks for the offer though.
Maybe add the disclaimer for us 93-94 guys- “if you want this setup, you must perform the pair valve system swap to 95+“ and any other xyz modification prior?
Does this mean more supercharger Maf/injector kits? Or was that a one time only deal for the Magnuson crowd?

IMO the correct approach is to put together a MAF swap for the 93/94 trucks. Basically you would install a 95+ filter cover, MAF sensor and inverter to allow the use of a MAF sensor in place of the stock VAF. Once that is accomplished it would be simple to install my scaled injector system to allow the stock ECU to properly fuel the engine after installing the supercharger.
I don't have a 94/94 truck to use as a guinea pig but if someone here is interested we could probably work through it together. But the person would have to have more than just desire they would need to have some basic understanding of electronics and use of a VOM.

if you are referring to the scaled injector kits, they will be available for whoever wants them.
If this was done, would it also benefit someone who'd like to turbo charge early trucks?
Is there any benefit in changing to a MAF sensor on a stock truck?
The VAF sensor assembly on the 93/94 looks like quite a restriction in the intake

So I’ve been reading up on the split second device and they already have a land cruiser table for doing this. However it’s for a 1992. I’m thinking it could actually work for our trucks as is or maybe only need a little tweaking.
It’s important to understand that the same restriction would still be there as far as boosting with the stock MAF sensor. This is because once the air flow reaches the point where it is inverted to 0v the fueling again stops increasing.
But since the truck is now using a MAF sensor you can scale the system with a larger MAF and injectors as I have and push that point out so as to fuel beyond the the point of the stock system and include the flow of the SC/Turbo.
I think I have a filter cover, stk MAF and air tube in the garage. I would suggest piggy backing the split second unit on the harness so you could easily revert back to the VAF setup by swapping back to that hardware and simply plugging the sensor back in.
Split second claims a 10hp gain with this change on a stock truck.
If you go to splitsec.com there is an article that talks about this product on a BMW.
The process to make this option repeatable will take sometime but I think it would be worth it when done.
I'd be willing to work through this with you. I've got a 93 that's pretty stock in the engine bay. I don't have any professional electrical engineering background, but I'm certainly a hobbyist and I can record values accurately and follow instructions.
Same here - I have both 93 and 94 so I’m game as well. I can FaceTime as well
Sounds interesting! Thanks for the comment.
I have one of the early ones. Yup, it does wake up the S C, especially above 3000 rpm. I had talked with Rick about me starting a new thread about the installation, operation, and performance of the Stage 4 MAF. I am also doing some other research/experimenting with a wee bit more performance out of it too.
So, Rick, how close is the interchange between the Whipple and the Magnason??? Always want a little more, little more, little more...........

You’re not going to be able to just swap it in. You’ll need the Whipple mount, exit pipe and throttle body mount. That’s probably 85% of The whole system.
