First C5 with a TVS!!???
OK at the show tonight a C5 with a 1900 TVS blower installed. The owner took me for a blast and is still in the middle of tuning it but what a blast! You can feel the torqe! Has anyone else installed a TVS on a C5? I know that Magnusun has not yet released the TVS for the C5 but is set to release soon. The owner said this was a custom job to set it all up but was actually not that hard. Some custom machining involved but not a lot of work according to the owner. Anyway thought you might all enjoy the pics!

No idea as yet as he is still tuning it with too much fuel in the top end and he has not dyno'd the car. I'll probbaly know more in the next week or so and will keep tabs on the car and hopefully be able to elaborate more or perhaps the owner himself will pipe in if he chooses.

Pics came great mike, owner ordered as hot rod project and had to cut down few stuff to fit this, he already had Maggie installed before, so now he swapped with this unit.
Very cool looking blower very quite no whine like maggie does.

I like it, it looks awesome
Does he still have to use an aftermarket hood! (It looks that way but I do not want to ***-u-me)
Thanks,Matt

No whine? That's one of the things I happen to like about those types of blowers.

Depending on boost levels, they will all whine. The bigger blowers just need more boost to make them whine.
So it will whine just fine with another 3-4 more psi.
Top mount blower whine is intoxicating.
