Im thinking, nothing ventured nothing gained. I may just try the TT route. My shop is using all quality parts and will coat the units and manifolds and the piping as well. They are going to use Precision Turbo 6766 turbos and should allow for future endeavors if i feel the need. The 3 different boost levels i did not know about.....does this require 3 different tunes? I have the EFI Live AutoCal that can store 5 of Pat G's tunes.

Thanks guys.....what ever became of Darth Emma's twin build?

No hacking what so ever fits in the current SI and YSI Vortech brackets.

I've had both Centri and TT and I tell you there is a special sound & feeling TT gives you, when the twins are spooling that like taking your F-16 out that Centri can never deliver. You NEVER get tired of TT.

Just make sure you buy top quality turbo with great sealing, bearing and light blades to spin/spool fast.
I promise you, once you go TT, you never go back centri.

Agreed x1000 ^^^.

I say if you go TT, get the IPS kit. Proven and tested. R&D isn't cheap nor fast! As much as you enjoy driving the car I know what I would do.

Either way, good luck with it.

My shop is really setting me up on this. I think i will be their first 5th gen with the TT and they are pretty excited about it. SNL is also the MOnster Clutch company and they have been selling alot of twins and triples. I may also go with their triple disc at the same time I know SNL Performance and they have never steered me wrong. They have my loyalty and they will always be my go to shop. The plan is custom fabricated plumbing running Precision Turbo 6766 units. Everything will be coated and setup to exacting tolerances. They have a custom fabricator and they have done TT vettes and GTOs all custom built.

I love the IPS stuff but im really getting a special deal on this if i do it.

Since i mentioned loyalty....i feel kind of bad about ditching the Centri and ProCharger.....but i need to at least try it.

Only thing bumming me out is losing the sound i have now thru the ARh headers and 3" cat less exhaust. I guess the turbos really quiet it down regardless of the manifolds or shorties. Oh well. now maybe the damn duramax and power strokes will leave me the hell alone.

They'll still harass you, but not for very long.... They seem to go away quickly...

Does that happen to have anything to do with how much you hit the go pedal

some where i have a dyno graph of a 1000HP TT vette and the same motor on 1000HP on a ysi. i laid them over each other. ill see if i can find it. you will be able to see how the power difference is between the two.

.. they just ..... disappear... and never to the front...

San Antonio Raceway... Big Dodge with a goofy looking stack sticking straight up out of the bed... He red lighted and jumped out for a fraction of a second and then I never saw him after that... I was in the 10's, he was in the parking lot licking the wounds... He thought my car was stock... It's pretty quiet, but he missed the signs...

Yes, I'm at Sheppard. I remember seeing a white SS with black stripes...right? I usually drive it to work Thurs and Fridays if the weather is good. It get a bunch of looks for sure. Next time i see him I'll honk.

You're at Dyess right. As a matter of fact heading over there to shoot the High tacan to RWY 16, then the ILS approach to 16 with a NATO trainee.....in the simulator unfortunately.
