Hey for what it's worth, those towing twins are made for towing. Got all the performance I wanted, needed yesterday on my 350 mile trip to S. Oregon. Very responsive when you have a nice load behind them. Can still get egts to 1400 in some instances -- for the most part averaging 1000-1200 up and down mountains. Finally got that 50 psi spike, and the bottom turbo over 20psi. They need more weight and resistance I guess. GCVW was a tad over 17k at the scales. Going up longest steepest portions, say 6 miles of 6 and 7% grades, could do 65-70 and still have a lot of pedal left. THis is with smarty on aftermarket turbo, moderate torque, level 7. No banks help needed. average mpg on the trip so far is 14.2 hand calc... got 15+ on a nice stretch of flatland. I think that's pretty good. I averaged about 11.5-13 before the twins and smarty.

Not yet. Going on a corporate fishing trip this weekend and next week its getting top to bottom fluids and a new ps pump. Hopefully the following weekend. Still have to find a shop to do it in also. I'd rather not tear into it in the driveway.

I did it in less than two days and have the proud scars to show off!
