Twin charging isn't what it's cracked out to be. If you want great response and top end power, a properly sorted twin scroll turbo setup will deliver without the niggles of a twin charged system.

In my humble opinion only

Have you ever been in one?
Ians has 9psi at idle, 35psi top end
I know everyone says they are inefficient blah blah but the response down low is streets away from a turbo

According to the ass dyno only :D

I got the numbers bro.

It's literally 10mm longer. If you've ever seen a piazza one? It's the same.

Sorry about the delay.

Gemini just pulled 279.5kw atw on a run in tune, wastegate pressure but is creeping, no timing in it either.
This thing sounds absolutely nuts and is going to kill me

14psi spring E85, 287atw this morning on a fresh run.
It's going about 18psi ish.
I pulled the rocker cover tonight and did the clearances and put a new filler on it because it wouldnt stop leaking.
Will put it back in tomorrow night, change the oil and feed her again.
I don't think the clutch is going to handle it though, we were getting some slip above 250kw

Thanks Mick
I'm already s!*tting my pants, we had to strap it down that tight because it was spinning the wheels on the dyno. So it's gonna be terrible to drive on the road..
