Well might as well look for a long block now lol. While twincharging is a cool idea , i'd rather do with one or the other. It seems like it could be a tuning and mechanical nightmare. Oh and BTW...... TVS FTMFW heheheh

A proper sized turbo will deliever almost instant boost and still make tons of power. Even with twin charge, you won't have full boost right away.

The fact is that twin charging the LSJ has been around since the days of the Ion Redline when it came out. There is a reason why only 2-3 people ever had it.

well, either way guys.. its gonna blow. whether i go turbo, tvs, or do the 2.75 and 60's like i was originally planning. bottom line is, ill be able to control the boost from inside the car and if i can only push 300whp safely a my DD then so be it. thats still a 90hp gain from my car right now. ive been talking with matt ( twincharged ) turbotim and zooomer to make sure im doing the right thing. but either route i go, theres going to be problems down the road.. im just gonna have to deal with them. when i do blow it, my uncle will help me out.. he just doesnt want to pull the motor if he doesnt have to.. but i appreciate you guys trying to look out for me.

The car won't blow with a good tune. Look at the one guy on here making 400+ whp on stock internals.

Twin charging is just inefficient and produces so much heat it's almost uncontrolable.

It's your descision in the end.

You shouldn't have to expect it to blow. With a good tune and smart driving the tvs /2.7,60s/turbo should last a long time...

If your looking for 320 Whp ....there are easier ways of doing it . The biggest problem i foresee is any type of help with mechanical or tuning problems . Not a lot of people have any experience doing it , and the ones that do ...aren't around here. Tuning a TVS isn't the easiest either but there will be more progress and experience to toss around because more and more people are going to it.

Don't take this the wrong way cause i'm not hating on twincharging or anything like that. Just if it was one of the better options for making power reliably .....alot more people would have it .

i know this is going to be a really dumb question, but what does tvs stand for again?

I really want steak and beer. Almost tempted to go out for it tonight. But I could probably buy my thermostat and coolant for the same damn price. O decisions how I hate then.
