well after having them for a month a lot of folks may be interested to what the final results are and a few folks around have already heard the situation at hand which is a bit touchy. Everyone knows the first 3 sets that went out were to m lockner and m simonian and then me. Well there is some results to post and i'm giving the others also the opportunity to chime in since we all had them installed and i know for a fact we have all been on the dyno. I believe it should proove very interesting. I have address the issue and pushed it but with no resolution in sight it's pretty grim. I made sure to wait to the responses before posting anything on here but i've always been one to speak my mind and i do my best to keep in as straight up as i can but i can't and won't sit quietly any longer after not getting any further upon the issues addressed i feel that i should post my results so that nobody else makes this mistake like i did. If you don't believe it like i said ask any of the other 2 guys.





I'll say it drives better and i thought it would have more power well i lied. It gained an amazing 4 hp for heck of a deal too. It was like 6000 dollars installed with head studs and also with ats manifold and i guess i had the cp3 retapped on that bill also. I have always spoken highly of everyone who does me right on here and now i've been quiet to give them a chance to work with this situation and to be honest i'm no further now then when we started. So if this is the truth there should be no problem in me airing it.



so with that in mind i decided to put a little survey out there of course it's only an unbiased survey call it like u see it with no favortism or prefferential thinking in your decision. Not only was the setup not what we expected it was a sad sad showing all around. We had originally planned to have them installed on the greeley dyno day in order to show up and dominate with a new setup. Good thing we didn't what were we going to dominate a fig newton. Now the installer can't seem to understand why someone would be upset after paying 6K for nothing if little at best. He stated that i was out to ruin him. Ruin him can u believe that i just was raped for 6K and i'm ruining him. That's not even right, and even the most demented mind cannot explain how someone would even come to a conclusion like this. We paid months in advance and then waited and waited and got the run around and then got some turbo which basically was not what we were led to believe and now the installer is basically trying to backtrack and in his own words stated " i told u that this would be a neat kit and u chose it" A neat kit wow I was hoping that there were some other neat things out there. There is nothing neat about 1500 per hp. not at all. So you can see i bit my lip for a month in order to get the issue solved and it's not even been addressed. So i feel that being a consumer i owe it to the folks on here to post the factual data.



we were with a sledpuller a 1700 dollar turbo from paul at htt who is a man who will make sure and do what he says and so far has always made good on everything i've ever gotten from him.



with that on we put down 587 and something like 1136 not bad for 3rd gen single #2 only right



now with those twins which were almost 6K installed we threw this down on the same dyno with the same operator hold on are you ready folks for this big display which was to be unleashed at the greeley dyno day we were able to unleash a whopping 592 folks that's right no applause please it's true it's true and for torque u ask we had 1147 oh my god stay seated folks it's ok i put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else. 11 more foot pounds and 4 hp man oh man now don't everyone line up to buy these things at once. I don't wanna start a riot with everyone running to purchase these all at once. Not only that you wouldn't believe the overall service that they include with this install.



examples u may ask, how about not even returning emails regarding the problem or even trying to address fixing it because of the busyness of the schedule and then u find out that the old turbo u gave to the installer which was just as good had only 5 K mileage on it was already installed in a new rig. Isn't it funny to see how there is no time to work on the others which are already paid months in advance and got robbed but we also find out our old products are already installed by the same guy who can't take the time to address any issues that may be wrong with these.



Now this could be an issue that may work itself out but in order for that to happen they have to address it. It hasn't been yet and i'm not so sure it will be but if they do fix the flaw if that's what it is, then i'll be sure to come right back on this page and tell that to everyone. But after telling them in writing to put my truck back the way it was and give me my cash back it was met with nothing from that end. So i responded again in writing to make sure that they want to make this decision or at least give a counter offer. Something along the lines of a discount a bargain a reduced rape approach. I didn't get these twins to be neat or fancy i got them to add hp and not 4 and i cannot believe this is even an issue. I am no longer waiting for these folks to do whatever if anything. I will now fully address the issue to the best of my ability and I will not keep quiet about it and i'm not gonna try and save anyone's rep. So mr bob i guess where we go from here sir.



Anyone who doesn't believe it ask lockner the colorado chapter pres right. is that the official title. He knows he even pm'd me and told me his results so feel free to ask him. Also ask mike he has results we are about the same power for several months now and what do you know they didn't do much on his either. I don't know exactly but he may have only gained like 30, i'm not sure i thought he was saying that he's not dynoing as high now as he was with the single. Hell i had a stock manifold with 587 so would i get 5 hp with the ats manifold. and 11 ft torque with the ats manifold could it be. If it is so then guess what I paid 6K to lose power yeah that's neat isn't it. about as neat as a wet fart wearing shorts.



So no more hiding the info from people this is what it did and this is how it was responded to after just over a month of being there. I could have used my money to light on fire at least then i could of kept warm and actually got some benefit from it .



so my question is regardless of who did the work and what brand it was and all that crap. If u spent 6K for headstuds and manifold and twins installed and added 4 hp with 11 ft torque would u be upset. Feel free to elaborate too would u have been angry right away do you feel i've waited too long and how do you think i should respond to a premium price product with subpar in fact borderline negative performance.



Oh yeah it's true it's damn true.



Way to go to bat for us bob
 
Well I would definatly say you have given them plenty of time to resolve this issue and they have not seemed too interested in fixing it. Basically this tells me that now that they have your 6k, your S. O. L ... I for one would uninstall the twins and toss that six grand pile of junk through the window. You have every right to be upset, angry, etc. I hate to hear about people paying top dollar for sub-par service or parts as I have been there before. With you posting this on these forums I assure you that you have cost them well over 6K. Which is good because they deserve every bit of it IMO. Its just too bad you 3 payed so much for so very little. Once again Im sorry to hear about your situation. :(
 
Since, power comes from fuel not from air, tell us about the fuel dumped into this motor.



And yes, I did not read the entil post because not any real info is given.



I can put anyones twins or a big turbo on my Kubota lawn mower and not get any more power without adding fuel.

Tell us the rest of the story , please.

exactly what i was thinking



for example. i was running a single turbo(pdrhx40/16) with bullydog stage 6 injectors and drag comp.

installed pdr street strip twins and wasn't happy with the few rwhp they added. lots of air now,,need more fuel.

swapped the bullydog 6's out for a set of don m mach 6's(that actually make advertized hp) and had my box re-programed to add more fuel and BANG !! 600 plus rwhp

could have never ran that kinda fuel on a single turbo and keep egt's in control.

the twins allowed me to use all the fuel and keep egt's in the safe zone @ 1250 deg max at WOT.

i think you need more fuel :-{}
 
if the #'s you posted are uncorrected then you may be at the limit for fuel from the cp3. add some meth and see what happens of if you favor propane add that and your numbers will go up. as fox said your power will come from the fuel. also do you tow? or just looking for top hp? how is your egt's when compared to the single?

-robert
 
We know that there is a low fuel issue with the 3rd gen trucks. Ask around the industry and you will find out the same. Thats why ATS has a modified CP3 pump out for sale. My set up is for towing and an entirely different situation. People need to deal with facts not emotion. People in the know understand the situation with these trucks.



Mike L.
 
here is what's up with the truck we have several issues it has a fass pump for staters and we asked the people at fass whether or not they could push over 600 hp with the 150 pump they said yes. I also have ats extrude honed injectors and they are 100 hp i have an xcellerator stacked with a six gun for pressure and it does very well against mike's truck who also has a fass with don m injectors and also tst and edge i actually have more hp then him actually our max runs are the same. Only he has more torque. Now with that in mind all the trucks involved didn't get anything in fact darn near nothing and i mean that when i say that nothing. So what we have is an issue where people can say oh wait you don't have enough fuel because i don't have a tst box however mike and mike both do and they have the same results so this will discredit that theory. then the fass is the story i'm getting now these were made by nathan who says he gets 62 lbs all day long and has 700 hp, that's what we were told and i can tell u i have never seen anything close to 60 and my egt's are through the roof i asked someone who makes twins and they said i shouldn't be able to peg my gauge and i can peg it easily and keep it buried. So to be honest the egt's maybe changed by 50 degrees and the hp went up 4 mike s added something like 20 hp and now it's not even that much anymore it's steadily dropped i'm not sure exactly but it's a joke. Anyway the guy who made them is having a rasp pump and that's the only difference allegedly or whatever. so if i install a rasp then i'm good to go right not one issue after that. Why would all 3 of us spend 6K if we weren't gonna get hp. Ats said i have tons of fuel but wouldn't comment on the turbo's and i can respect that since they are not into bashing other people. I read a thread on here where someone "i'm not gonna name names" said something like this "we looked at the twins on his truck and then we decided to build a real set ourselves" they were refering to another guys set of twins but it shows an example of how they bash someone and talk themselves up only to come out with a product that isn't anything. I'm gonna buy another set of totally different twins if i have to in order to prove this point that's for sure. Nothing is gonna stop me from proving this is a crock. they didn't do a thing other then change the driveability give me a break i'm sick of waiting for no answers. U wanna know what the big answer was install 1/2 fuel line from the tank to the fass. Well bi gosh there is the answer to everything right there. Pay me more money to make it right lol and it still isn't going to. How much will it change when the fass to the cp3 is still 3/8 that's what i wanna know. Not only that but a month before my cp3 was off and getting the banjo rethreaded and i mentioned a 1/2 line and the response was "no no we don't need that i mean they have heavy equipment with more then enough fuel with 3/8 in line. " My response was i want more then enough but guess what we didn't do it and now they wanna do it but they won't say when they can. Actually its one guy at this point, he can't make time but he sure did get my old turbo installed right away. Not only that but we don't have the original boot because they were fabricated poorly and couldn't hold the boost and we aren't even making 55 so if that's blowing it off then something is really weak. The casing on the top turbo leaks oil and it used to be a small leak but it's gradually increased i come home and there is an oily mess when i leave. Oh and another thing we added ats manifold, so how do i know that the amazing 4 hp i'm seeing isn't from that. This is pathetic and i've waited around for over a month and here i am still. Didn't say anything bad and keep in mind paid months in advance for what. An underperforming leaky turbo what a great deal. Mr. Lockner i know u said give it time well i don't want my twins when i have 100K on the truck i paid for them 3 months ago and i'm ready for them already. If it was gonna be a prototype then we would get them for a lot less. we didn't. Hell some guys get them free for promoting them. Not us. We got hit with extra install fees because it took so long to install them. lucky us that's the truth and u know it as well as i and i'm sick of keeping it quiet in order to protect a small percentage of folks interest instead of reporting the actual factual to the average consumer. And not only the lame product but the lack of any effort whatsoever to make it right or even get our non leaking castings. That's ridiculous if i took that long to pay for them what would have happened. They'd file a lein on my rig but when the roles are reversed they are protected and people say oh you gotta work with them. If the product wasn't fit for the public market then they shouldn't charge so damn much that's a joke. There are always bugs I know about bugs with turbo's and i can tell u how they are properly dealt with just by saying htturbo. I purchased the killer b wasn't what we thought no problem within the first month he already sent a new wheel and we put that in and it was better but yet not quite over the surging and barking so what was done? I received a sledpuller 66 which is 1695 a total of 200 dollars more then the killer b and guess what in both of those instances i made right on them and so did paul. He sent the wheel in good faith i'd send the old one back then when that didn't work guess what he sent the sledpuller and didn't say a word about the price difference guess who did? I did and i paid it even though i didn't have to however i felt that it was the right thing since i added hp after first ordering the turbo from paul.



That's how a problem is supposed to be dealt with and then dealt with again until it goes away. Hell bob won't even answer emails regarding the fact of prices on the studs and the manifold which i told him i had no problem with it was the turbo's that didn't seem to work right. Anyone with twins on a 3rd gen let me know what's up how much boost can u get what kind of hp gains did you see. Did you ahve enough fuel to light them up. If i have too i'll go get a set from whoever i mean i'll gladly see if that's the case as my truck sits right now no other mods. Quick install and dyno and see i don't know who makes them yet for our range jr does, paul said he's got some coming out real soon at htt, bd's are lower hp range i believe, so what is there piers, or ats i don't care because if i try one other one and i add power then that'll prove my point then we will truly see what's up. We were getting bs'd on these things all along. It was supposed to be a big smack down at the dyno day the unveiling of... ... ... of what a vomit bag. It was pathetic folks
 
Did you actually expect someone to read this ^^^???



Try a couple paragraphs like you may have learned once in school so people don't just see an unreadable crapload of words.



Finally, since you give no mention of EGTs, perhaps you are NOT giving the full story? I wouldn't necessarily expect a HP increase with twins (over a well-matched single), but EGT at a given level of fueling should be lower. Twins WILL give a hp gain over a single that's out of it's league, for sure.



Perhaps the buyer did not inform himself very well before making a decision?? Also, how can you conclude that the CP3 is NOT the problem??? After all, you can't expect twins to make more power when you're out of fuel, can you?

and another thing

piers has a set of twins right on a 3rd gen with stock injectors with a bullydog crazy larry and the tst box and he's got 675 what kind of lift pump is on that truck. Somebody has gotta know don't tell me it's a fass or i'm gonna get the lighter fluid ready. If it is a fass this discredits any fass theory and therefore we are running out of issues to blame it on other then the true issue that everyone is saying and acting like doesn't exist. 2 boxes and no injectors what did that piers rig have and then with the twins over a single what did the increase prove to be.



We had 2 boxes with injectors and the fass and guess what twins added well these twins nothing



the other trucks have tst boxes mike s has it stacked with edge and don m flux injectors so now what's the excuse i know he has a fass too.



I'm not sure what m lockner has but i'm fairly sure he has a tst box minimum for fueling. Don't have a clue on injectors and possible other box's. I'll go buy the damn crazy larry and stack it with a tst box if i have to i'm on a mission and i'm not stopping until i find out what's up. I'm not gonna jump someone if they make a good product. I've talked bob up more then anyone on here when he deserves it. Then look how i get treated in return when i need him to go to bat for us (good luck) i'm glad i spent that time talking him up and i'm not gonna talk him down now. I'll say this I am still happy with the work he did when i talked him up and also with his help and his feedback. What i'm not happy with is the fact that i know all 3 trucks were lame and I know mike and i have thrown a ton of cash bobs way in the last 6 months. So even though we have been consistant in having him do our work he doesn't wanna stand up to dtt and say this isn't right what's going on with us and blame it on a fuel line from the tank to the pump. Please tell me this isn't how u think about things normally. When a person becomes a sellout is when they go along with the things that the corporation does and knows that it's not right and doesn't do a thing to hold them accountable since it's financially not a good idea but if it were them they'd want something done. Bob even told me he heard about a set of piers twins where the guy didn't see anything and that was that no big deal piers wasn't gonna address it. I told him i'd be ****** off if that happened to me and then guess what it not only happened to me but to several others and i called this bs story a month ahead and bob thought i was crazy when we were getting the runaround before the greeley lie detector dyno day. Hey since it's a lie detector bob let's both u and i hook ourself to it and see who's lying. "whether i was told that i want this kit to be a neat little kit" like u said or whether i was told this kit kicks much arse and it rocks and it's added close to 100 on the duramax's and also on nathan's truck who's getting 700. Then he tells me on the way up here he never saw over 875 degrees so i say let's check out those twins and he said they weren't on that truck. The one he just stated that he drove here with and never saw over 875. Luckily in colorado they have a thing called the Consumer Protection Act and i intend to display how it works unlike these turbo's which are lacking considerably. My boost sticks at 40 and wont go up for an enternity until i see od. It's not a steady build at all it pegs at 40 egt's are damn near pegged and then it goes up sometimes other times it doesn't get over 40 no matter what. So now that that's done and everyone knows what's up i'll be back when i see the results of either different turbo's or the 3rd gen ats pump. If by some chance new turbo's are added and i don't see any hp increase period or less then 5 like we did here. I'll be more then happy to post that and clear the issue as my own haste but after a month it's not haste. NO answers no solutions. Hell maybe we should take the seats out. lol at this rate i'll only have to spend 250 thousand to get to 800hp is all. We were told they would get more and i can even show u where bob stated in an email that they were expecting a lot more and u also stated that mr lockner so have what u will with this we both know how things went down. I'm not happy and i'm the only one speaking out for what has happened. Because i don't owe it to anyone to be untruthfull, if anything i wanna make sure that nobody else has to go through this garbage again. So if i was a guiness pig then guess what i should have been charged like one. U don't sell a pinto for the price of a caddy now do u? If anyone is in doubt order that junk and slap it on there then post the results. I dare u to, u might as well take 6K in ones and use it to wipe at least then u get something from it.
 
they also said it was upgradeable and mentioned 3 turbo system when i picked up the truck. So that was presented as an option and guess what ?



They wanna think this problem is gonna go away and i was being way cool and fair about it but now i don't care who gets their feelings hurt or whatever kinda bs loyalty people have here. If Any one of us on here didn't have our vehicle then we would cease to exist in this world and i'm not here to make friends i don't do it so good. However i'm not hear to get robbed either that's what the dealership is for. So no upgrade for the upgradeable twins and they are weak and pathetic. I love them until 40 psi then they are terrible and if u don't believe me try them for youself and don't say i didn't give u a warning.

egts are pegged and i don't really care if anyone reads it if they do great if not then great as long as they know that all 3 trucks one 2nd gen and 2 3rd gens all got the turbo's and the effects were lame, i'm just making sure that nobody makes the same mistakes when u have the installer saying that he was expecting more hp and that he's disappointed, of course there is an issue. when it's not addressed
 
Your Out Of Fuel. I Think Most People Know It. The Amount Of Fuel On 3rd Gen Is The Limit. If Piers Got Around It, Then You'll Soon Find Out How. He Would Lose To Much Money Keeping It A Secret.
 
you are already above what alot of people are at horsepower wise, the twins are adding plenty of air, the limit of fuel pressure/volume on the 3 gens are a known problem, try a set of edm injectors, or call piers or dtt and ask how to get more fuel. twins have been out for a while and are not rocket science. my vote is fuel.
 
out of fuel i doubt it man maybe close but it's no way that 2 trucks with different boxes got lame results and it's a fuel issue. When piers with no injectors got 675. We got injectors and so does the other guy and lockner has a 2nd gen that also was pathetic so with that in mind i know for a fact the second gens have ability to fuel but they did not do anything. My egt's are through the roof it's every bit as hot now as it has ever been with the single. I shouldn't be able to peg that gauge at 1700 and still not have enough fuel to gain more then 4 hp come on now. I'm getting that aftermarket cp3 from ats and it's gonna push a ton more fuel and then i'll run them again. I know guys with the exact setup that mike has and they are getting way more boost and way more power. We can't get over 54 # that's the highest i can get i know a guy with a 3rd gen with twins who has tst and edge and is pegging the 60 psi gauge all day long with plenty more then that i bet he's good for 70 or even more so what's the issue with that. 2 trucks same year same boxes and different twins and one is over 700 and the other isn't even at 600 and was starting at 560 i mean that's a sick joke. So what pump does piers have on that truck is it a fass. I know that the fuel issue is an easy cop out but they don't work on 2nd gens or 3rd gens yet we find the same setup with different twins and it's putting more down so that proves the setup is not right and not only that it's too hot. Mr. Adkins told me no way should i be pegging that gauge, and i keep it buried around town just bearly driving slow it's like 1100 quick and that's a modest estimate no lying no exaggerating. I bury it at 1700 and it won't come down until i hit od so i've been working with ats to get it to shift into od and it does at 3400 rpm now but at that time it's so damn hot it's not good i shouldn't have that thing pegged when i only have 590 of fuel with this amazing setup so go ahead and get yourself a set and just remember i warned u and see what they do to make it right please. Bob has told me for 5 weeks now i can't get to it today, well i'm not asking to get to it today, 3 weeks from today would be great if it would have gotten addressed the first time i mentioned it. I don't even have but a couple hundred on them. U want them make me an offer i'm gonna see what my options are and keep in mind 2 times in writing i told them that i didn't want them and wanted money back and they didn't even respond so if they are so great why wouldn't they take them back and sell them to the next guy. I'm telling u they aren't right and they need to work on some issues that's for sure but i've waited long enough i'm not paying for 3 months ahead just to get crap, i'll take a pic of my floor after one night and u can see the leaks hell both of mike's leak so what's that all about u wanna pay for 2 leaky turbo's come get them bring cash just like i brought and i'll give them to you right this second but i don't wanna lose any more then i have already so if u want it come and get it because they are coming off either way. I'll stomp this thing pound for pound with the price of a sledpuller coming in like 3 K under the price and the same results. It's a joke with the total lack of customer service. I wouldn't put this on here if i wasn't unhappy i know the wolfpack is biased that's why i you will just have to learn yourself i guess. Then you will understand, i leak so much oil i'm gonna call the oil for food folks so i can get some grub since i'm now starving. Bob told me himself that we probably wouldn't be able to get more then 700 out of these so what the hell would i buy that for when i coulda just bought a n20 kit for tons less. That pump will solve this whole issue or some different twins and i'll get some different ones like i said just to prove it. Maybe that's the only way to show. What is the new shift of blame going to go on at that time?

Nothing that's what.



you can argue we lost power, lost power, adding twins and losing power i wish i would have dyno'd with the single and manifold i bet it was more then 592. Still no answers and see who's winning the poll\
 
I'm sorry. I really TRIED to read these posts, but the complete absence of sentence structure, capitalization, punctuation and paragraphs left my eyes crossed before I could even get started.



Effective communication requires one to ensure not only that he's sending good information but that the other party is readily able to receive and process that information.



I'm sure there's lots of good stuff in there. I only wish I could ferret it out... :rolleyes:

oh well don't have to read it i think everyone here gets the point of what's up. I feel no need to capitalize or even use commas and periods. Because i'm not happy so everything would end in exclamation. I don't feel the need to break it up that what we call bringing up a different issue to get attention from the original issue. The poll is simple enough for u i hope. it's pretty easy but if u didn't read it why did u bother posting i mean what was the point. If u didn't read it then keep moving along and going on with your day.
