Twins are in, all fittings are retightened, oil leak from cracked line is replaced and as you can see everything looks good. Im amazed even though these twins are much larger than my last set, they fit alot better.
Took for a test this weekend, and from a roll at about 20 I put her down 3/4 throttle and got her up to 60lbs. Primary was right at 30-32lbs, and after 15-20lbs the big girl lights very well and you have to watch your speed and right foot. Wastegate needs to be backed off, I would like to have it letting go at 60lbs and right now my foot is my wastegate. The 62 up top seems to be getting quicker with every drive. Kit looks great and performs great, If you want twins I would highly reccomend giving Nathan a call.

The only issue I have at the moment is a constant haze under throttle. I have tried all sorts of smarty settings, and this week I will retry the Beta 4.2 cause it will light anything quick. I was hoping to find a normal software that wouldnt haze, not real thrilled with running added pressure everyday with Dual pumps. Im afraid my injectors are going to take a beating. Anyone of you gurus have any ideas on how to get rid of this haze? I really dont want to go to smaller sticks but I may have to downsize to 2's. Its tuff having a 700-800 hp daily driver !



Any questions feel free to ask here or PM me, Rye.

Heck, if he can actually wait until next Summer then I would say he's doing pretty well...
...but we all know the "I upgraded my MPT twins!" post is probably only about a week or so away.

Nice setup, Rye!

Thanks, do you get any haze with the flux 2s? I may have to downsize and keep my 3.5's on my bench. People in Northern Va arent big on smoke.

You can, but you run into problems trying to force so much air through the compressor on the stocker-- also, with the kind of fuel needed to spin the s480, you'll end up with too much back pressure on the stock exhaust housing. Anyway, that's the way I see it and could be wrong. These twins have to kinda go hand in hand to a degree.

Yeah it would only make sense to upgrade both chargers at the same time. It's pretty sweet to have the option to upgrade though!
