Straight or 90 degree scroll

[Falcon]

I have a 90 degree scroll for a powerdyne BD11A unit, i bought the unit for my bird, but he sent the 90 degree instead of the straight scroll, so he resent the straight and i just kept this one, do mustangs use the straight or 90 degree scroll? thanks

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. No one else probably does either, which is why there have been no responses up until now.

I wasn't going to say anything for fear of sounding like a n00b.

What is a scroll? And, if it is 90*, can't you just rotate it 90* and it becomes horizontal?

I think he means the scroll housing. Straight like the Procharger and Vortec, or 90 degrees like some turbos, comes out the turbo and make a immediate turn, like an L shape.

yea you sound like you have an idea, it is the outer casing where the air either comes out of the supercharger at an L shape (straight from where in inlet was, or on straight scrolls it comes out the side of the supercharger, (perpendicular to the inlet)

heres some pics, the first is my acctual kit that i am keeping, the second is the supercharger before I put the straight scroll on, i was wondering if mustangs used that 90 degree scroll that is pictured in the second picture.

give this man a cookie.

though ive never heard of it called a "Scroll" before, ive always referred to it as the "Compressor housing outlet", on dsm's we sometimes got to choose if it has a 90* outlet (for a 2nd gen with the stock sidemount) or a straight one (for a 1st gen). only time ive heard "Scroll" with a turbo is like on a newer Evo they have whats referred to as a "Twin Scroll" turbine.

yea i never heard of it like that before until the guy i purchased this from. so nobody knows if this is useful on mustangs? im gonna try and put it on ebay, its kinda worthless to me.

why not just return it and do the honest thing something like that i dont know if its even worth the effort to try to sell it.

Most use that 90* I think. I heard it referred to as a scroll on turbo's before, but I don't remember where. Probably somewhere in my mass reading.

he never said anything about wanting it back, no sense in me paying shipping for something i told him i didnt need.
