downside to twincharging???

i got bored and was do alot of research on a diy turbo swap. u dont see alot of people doing twincharge people are just getting rid of the s/c all togather. i would think.... well its there might as well use it. and then u dont have to worry about an intake manifold. y is this? i imagine it could be hard to tune

The biggest bitch of the twincharged setup is definitely the tune. If you have it done, let ZZP do everything with it and don't mess with it yourself.

It really helps to sell off the supercharger to help pay for the turbo.... it covered about 30% of the costs for me.

There is also one less thing to worry about... technically it is just another moving part that could just go wrong...

I honestly can say that i would have seriously thought about twincharging when i bought my hahn setup, but at the time, they wouldnt ship the kit, and would only do in shop installs only... i wasnt driving from michigan to florida lol...

Twincharged is the combination of both supercharged and turbocharged on the same vehicle. Is that what what your asking?

They had one batch that had bad flex pipes.

I had one.

And guess what?

Didn't break.

True story.

But if it happens once, they are always like that.

Forever and ever.

I second that statement.

Sometimes one just needs to humble himself.

lulz.

Tr00f.

Back on topic. Twincharge...Bad idea. Go with 1 forced induction method or another. Yes it has made a lot of power, but it's not reliable. Especially on a daily driver.
