Does Whipple have a kit for your engine? The Prochargers (in my research) are not a direct bolt on and run system. Som tuning is required on the water, or on a dyno.

When I installed my Whipple we had to send the computer back to have remaped again. Idel caracteristics vary with different engines. The Whipple is the better looking by far.

Where are you located?

Here is a pic of my install

Nice install! I'm not sure if they have a system for my boat. I live in Sudbury Ontario.

Sudbury eh...well, the company that put my supercharger on is about the same distance from you, as they are from me.

If you want to speak to an experience installer and a Whipple dealer, I can give you a phone number and a contact.

They are out of Grand Island NY. Just over the bridge at Niagra. They install, prop, water test, the whole nine yards. When you pick it up, your good to go.

Thanks alot Jeff, now the only other problem I might have is the outdrive, any suggestions?

Like I asked in the drive section, can you replace it with a Merc? I don't know if they are interchangable?

I am not familiar with the volvo setup. With this new power, you'll at least want a spare drive.

You should have hydraulic steering too.

The volvo outdrives are stronger than mercs. Not sure about a duoprop though. You will want a single pro something when it is said and done. There is another thread in the outdrive Q&A about bolt on merc replacements.
