Thanks for sharing
I too have been doing some research out of this forum for the last few days. The results are below but first I must confess a few things. I own several truck accessory stores in Alabama. We are a whipple installing dealer. As of today we are also a Magnacharger installing dealer. I wanted some real people feedback prior to making a decision on picking up Magnacharger. Thanks for the input.
I talked to a "friend" that is an installing dealer for both in another state. He told me he likes the Magna much better (on the H2). He has installed plenty of each. I mean plenty...
Here is what I found:
Magna uses the factory computer to control 8 new 8.1 liter injectors.
Whipple uses the factory computer to control 8 stock injectors and a seperate black box to control 2 additional injectors.
Magna adds a 175 liter fuel pump to the system to assure that there is not a lean out condition
Whipple does not
Magna uses a intercooler
Whipple does not
Magna is going to be a lot harder to install. For me that does not matter. For the power hungry when your spending 5 large what's a couple hundred more in labor.
I love Whipple chargers and the company. There are many application where they are still my charger of choice. But on my H2, I am going with Magna. I will have it on in a couple of weeks and welcome other H2 owners to come and drive it. This is not a plug
Here is a simple justification of the price difference between both systems. I seems that selling prices are about $1000 apart
6 additional injectors in the Magna $750
Flash programmer included in the Magna $425
Intercooler.......priceless
