i am looking to get a supercharger for my 06. Its a manual trans does there need to be anything done to make it work with the manual or will it go well with it i have seen the Aussi version of my car its the Vauxhall Monaro VXR500 and its a manual as well and its the reason i want to go for the supercharger. What would be the best system to go with money is no obj thanks for all the input if any of yall have ideas would be a great help

The Vauxhall Monaro VXR500 used the Harrop Supercharger. I've always liked the Magnuson. Both will give you around 550 bhp and 500 ft lbs tq.

thats a pretty supercharger. its shaped nicely, not that any of that really makes a crap. maggie v harrop, which is better? i looked on harrops site and it says they use eaton stuff just like maggie, but they talk like they do stuff to make it better

Eaton makes the rotors for Magnason and Harrop. Harrop and Magnuson makes the case and the intake manafolds for the superchargers for vehicle and engines. The VXR500 is a non-intercooled HH112 supercharger, making 490ish hp./tq. Pretty much the same supercharger as the Maggie. I think you'll be paying much more for the Harrop unit because of shipping.

Problem is the HH112 is discontinued. The standard 112 and 122 will continue. I pulled the following from another board...

"The MP112-HH has officially been discontinued. It seems that Magnuson ran out of the 112 "High Helix" rotors and will not be producing any more. There may be a few new MP112-HH units left out there but we can no longer take an order for a MP112-HH.

As for now, GTO Magnacharger choices are limited to the standard 112 or the 122HH. It is important to note that custom rear drive configurations are available for both the MP112 and the MP122-HH. By changing rear drive configurations we are able to provide different boost levels depending on your specific application.

I thought I would make an official post/thread since there were many interested in the MP112-HH. I am disappointed myself as I thought the 112-HH was the best all around Magnacharger option for the GTO. Hope this information helps."

Yeah I know it's discontinued, I was saying thats what the VXR500 has.

It may, but it also depends on how and where you want your power.

if you want to go with the supercharger, look into the procharger. It makes power a little later in the power curve which is great for our car because of traction issues. also it is very adjustable for different boost levels
