What began as a simple request to incorporate our CVP Short Runner Intake Manifold with an existing supercharger kit, soon evolved into the development of our own complete package…

Three simple Goals were set for this fresh approach:

• DURABILITY: Maximize belt wrap on the blower and lower the belt tension requirements to meet the V9 durability threshold

• ENGINEERING: To optimize the efficiencies of the Robust Vortech V9 blower through a simplified Boost track

• VALUE: outfit the VR6 with complementary hardware specifically engineered to optimize the introduction of forced air and allow future expandability

The Typhoon ixG kit is available exclusively for
the Mk4 R32 and Includes:

* Vortech V9 G-Trim Centrifugal Supercharger
* CNC Machined Fixed Mounting Bracket
* CNC Machined Jack Bolt Adjuster with Tensioner
* CVP Cast Aluminum Short Runner Intake Manifold
* Liquid Cooled Intercooler System
* Cold Air Intake with K&N Filter
* High Flow Fuel Injectors
* Upgraded Fuel Pressure Regulator
* Remote Mount Crankcase Breather
* Dual High Flow Catalytic Converters
* HPA Software
*** note: OEM battery must be replaced with one of smaller dimensions ***

Using the robust Vortech V9 G-Trim supercharger to produce a dependable boost, we optimized the boost track, upgraded the fuel injectors, added our reliable Ultra Efficient Air-to-Water intercooler setup, and installed high flow cats, to create the Typhoon ixG package.

*** These dyno results showcase the performance of the Typhoon ixG package with factory engine compression ratio, running on 93 octane pump gas, with original exhaust system.***

The resulting setup thrusts with the ferocity a tropical storm giving turbo-like horsepower in the upper RPM range. This package offers a cost effective mid level entry to the forced induction scene, leaving plenty of room to grow. As the Mk4 platform is getting older and consumables like water pumps and gaskets need to be replaced, the Typhoon ixG leaves room in the budget to augment the total package and outfit your project car with suspension, brakes, and chassis control upgrades.

Though a Supercharger won’t produce as much torque as a turbocharger, it also does not create the extreme heat, therefore keeping your head temps low and requiring less fuelling. This package works well within many of the factory engine parameters making no challenge on your hardware’s durability thresholds

The design of our blower bracket with a special jack screw tensioner ensures that belt tension can accurately be set to ensure the optimal spool up without putting excess strain on the factory pulleys. Our belt routing has allowed for a full 180 degrees of belt wrap over the Superchargers pulley maximizing the grip without the need for excessive system tension. The larger air inlet opening of the V9 G-Trim supercharger gives improved efficiency, and the optimized boost tract provided by our Air to Water system means less pressure drop across the system.

Sharing the many of the same components as our FT turbo packages, the future tuning path is easy and allows you to retain much of your investment should your desire for more torque lead to you to pursue such an upgrade.

As with all HPA packages, we believe that cars are “Built to be Driven” and this was proven to be the case once again as a happy Typhoon owner picked up his car from our facility and embarked upon an 11n hour road trip to Utah to compete on the salt flats during Bonneville’s famous World of Speed. Putting the car through its paces on 91 octane pump gas, he easily joined the 130 Club with average speeds of 135MPH.
