My Twins :)
Just got my twin turbos done. Still needs to be dyno tuned which will happen later on this week.
Here is the link to the pics.

The filter hoses are temp. The real ones will be red or just black. They have twin T3/T4 hybrid turbos with Tial gates and a monster Charged air intercooler and radiator. The aluminum intake is only preproduction. The production piece will be extruded aluminum or something else.
I will be running approx. 6lbs of boost on a totally stock motor for now. Only mods are exhaust/ x-pipe.

Re: My Twins :) (bc53)
Bill - Where are the turbo's actually mounted? Are they stuffed down between the motor and the frame (like where regular length headers would meet the Y-Pipe) or are they farther back/down?
I thought of using this spot a while back but wasn't sure if there was enough room for a set of T3's. Also, have you calculated out the max. theoretical boost? I did that awhile back also and came up with 16psi I think. Is it possible to fit a T04 down there? or do you think you will have clearance issues.
Great project, keep us informed!!!!

Congrats on your new born twins! Can't wait till I take a ride in your new beast! In fact I don't think you've seen mine since I did the minitub and the new mods. We got to hook up soon!

Re: My Twins :) (Scott97)
Hey Guys,
Sorry I have not been able to get back with details. Been really busy with work and crap. Need to get some minor details worked out and then will dyno tune it on Monday. I will give details and take some more pics of the actual turbos under the car early next week.

Re: My Twins :) (bc53)
Well I dyno tuned my car today.
approx. 450 rwhp and 480rwtq at 6psi.
this was at 12.1 air fuel ratio. Still a little fat. A little safety tuned in :)
no knock and the car drives like it was stock when not in boost.
Totally stock car but a Borla cat back.

Sounds cool!
When are you going to post more pics on your web site?? [:)]
When is charged air going to make a formal announcement with pricing
and kit components?
Enquiring minds want to know.
