You can get almost just as linear of a powerband with a properly sized turbo set up.


Or you can push a supercharger and get decent numbers.

Damn man. You sure you didn't take an angle grinder to it? Looks like a clean cut.

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.



Im not being sacrastic here or anything but Im curious as to what you base that statement on? You know some1 with a twincharged car that is a DD? Or know someone with a twincharge setup at all?

No sir I do not. That statement comes from hours of reading. Twincharged cars are a PITA to tune and they have a tendency to 'fall out of tune' easily.

I think it is definitely unique. But from everything I have read about it, it's more work than it's worth. You could do a big turbo swap and see the same numbers with better drive ability and a lot more reliability.

I think once I have enough money saved, preferably after my car is paid off im going to take it to zzp and have them twin charge and tune it for me, and if I feel my tunes keeps going in and out ill either resort to them to fix it "obviously" or WickedSS2005 to fix it for me, but over all that is my true setup in the future to come

So far none of the turbo builds have hit twin charged numbers and turbo cars have horrible drivability (when using a large turbo) compared to twin charged or even supercharged cars.

Interesting.....But as a daily driver? I could see it as strictly shop/track car. But dd?

I've not seen any logs of a twincharged car vs big turbo. Do you have any? Or care to share why? Legit question now. I'm for serious.

I know my TVS took some time to smoothen out the tables to where I didn't have surging issues with the car.

Not to bash the twincharge idea as I do think it is a neat/unique idea, but I know that there hasn't been the best of luck with it. All of the forced induction methods have issues. TVS has blown up, turbo swaps have blown up and the twincharges have blown up.

I know of some that have passed the twincharge numbers. Going to keep it under wraps though.

There's also a big turbo LSJ near Miami that's mid 400's.

yhea what he said if u want alot of power from a turbo u need a big one that wont spool up till high in the revs and u will not have much time to use it but if u twin it then the power is there right off the start due to the s/c to make up for the lag...... right?
