Competition Boost with Twins

[BCarmicle]

How much boost would I be pushing with a DD Jammer Turbo or HX-40 as the top turbo and a HT3B as bottom in a twin set-up? Would this be good for a daily driver and occasional drag racing?

WIth stock injectors you could see 60-80 psi depending on housings and wastegate settings.

Would this twin set-up be my best bet at utilizing all of the TST box? Is there a single out there that would be a better choice for everyday driving and not have to o-ring the head? Injectors might be in the future.

With boost numbers of 60-80lbs. you will DEFINITELY need

o-rings on the head! I blew my "stock" headgasket running

about 60lbs. and J. R. can also give you some "testimonials"

on "high boost=blown headgaskets"... ... ... . right J. R. ???

I emptyed my pm box.



I am currently testing a single turbo for the 03-04's that looks promising.



Yea John I had my share of blown HG's. Thats a thing of that past I hope. How is that motor coming?

J. R. :



I can definitely "vouch for you" the blown headgaskets in

case anyone asks!! I hope they are a "thing of the past

too!"



The motor is coming along good! They should start

assembling it sometime next week!

JR let us know on that turbo ASAP I think with the power of the PMCR and no promising single turbos out there for it I think alot of people would be intrested, especially me! Same to you keith!

Care to elaborate on this

So far I would have to say that a good set of twins is far better than any single turbo to date. The cost is the only killer to twins but buying 3 or 4 singles until you find one that kinda works isn't cheap either. Not to mention if you blow up a few in the process. I'm not saying twins are for everyone but if you are going to get a little carried away with the power you might as well just buy a set of twins and be done with it.

You can buy a MIG welder and all the stuff to make a set of twins for less than the cost of buying one single turbo.

And with some help from Matt and a few others I intend to prove it can be done cheaply !

Shoot we need more friends like Matt !!!!



You are right you can build it cheaper but not everyone has the talent or Matt. That being said it is allot of work no matter who is building it and you will see why the kits are not not as cheap as you would like.
