Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit w/ V-1 H/D Ti-Trim & Charge Cooler - Polished (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-128TSQ
Polished Ti-Trim SQ High-Output Tuner Kit for 2000-2004 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit with V-1 H/D Ti-Trim and integrated charge cooler (PN 4FL218-128TSQ) is a high-output, race-intended centrifugal supercharger package engineered specifically for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. This configuration features a show-quality polished finish and Vortech's SQ (Super Quiet) gear-driven technology, delivering high airflow capability with excellent reliability.
With increased boost capability and air-to-water charge cooling, Vortech lists this system as capable of safely increasing output from 260 horsepower to 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft when paired with proper supporting modifications and professional tuning. As a tuner kit, it is designed for builders who want complete control over fuel system selection and ECU calibration.
V-1 H/D Ti-Trim SQ Supercharger Technology
The V-1 H/D Ti-Trim SQ is a heavy-duty, gear-driven centrifugal supercharger designed for high-horsepower applications where durability and airflow headroom are critical. Vortech's SQ technology provides nearly silent operation while maintaining the strength required for sustained high-RPM and high-boost use.
This head unit uses engine oil lubrication and includes the necessary oil feed and oil drain assemblies to ensure consistent lubrication and cooling under extended boost conditions. The high-efficiency impeller and housing design was developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell to deliver strong, repeatable performance.
Integrated Air-to-Water Charge Cooling
This system utilizes a fully integrated air-to-water aftercooler approach with a dual-pass charge cooler configuration designed to reduce inlet air temperatures and increase air density under boost. The charge cooling system is configured as a maintenance-free setup that supports additional horsepower gains on high-output combinations.
Note: Charge-cooled systems require a battery relocation kit (PN 8N150-010, sold separately).
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Tuner kits are the same as complete systems except without fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This allows professional tuners and racers to configure injectors, fuel pumps, and calibration strategies that best match their engine combination and performance goals.
Vortech offers multiple supercharger options for different racing disciplines and boost levels. For continued-use applications such as road racing, Vortech provides additional lubrication and cooling options depending on application.
