Default Pro Charger

Does anyone sell a Pro Charger or equivalent that would work on a 1998 XK8?

I assume you mean a battery charger? If that is what you mean have a look on Youtube or Google CTEK charger. About the best you can get.

No, he means a centrifugal supercharger. I don’t know of any that is bolt on.

However, you could just upgrade to an XKR. Probably cheaper to do it that way.

No and yes you should just get a xkr since theyre avail. Then you can upgrade to a ken bell twin screw. You would be better off if you want to keep your na to turbo th engine rather than go through the hassel and expense of adapting a drive system and even finding the room

Is there enough room under the hood for one? It's pretty tight in there

^^^^^^ this ! ! ! As mentioned, with the existence of the XKR, and the various upgrades one can do to the stock S/C'ing system, it seems like a big boondoggle to go the aftermarket Pro-charger route.

Re-inventing the wheel rarely makes for a better wheel.
