What size twins? Studs for sure w/ the twins. Injectors would only help w/ spool, and Id do injectors w/ the studs, b/c what I hear the injectors have to be pulled to install the studs. The innercooler is not need unless you need a 100 degree egt drop and cant find it anywhere else for running serious boost and HP, IMO.

I'm assuming you'll be using the Super B in the mix?

Studs should be first. Then injectors. Hintz pretty much summed it up. twins will make more than 50psi, so your studs will be essential to keeping your headgasket intact. After you get injectors you will probably find yourself needing extra cp3, and the list goes on.

I'm partial to the Airdogs because they are smaller in structure, so it keeps itself out of harms way better, the parts are quality and the kit is well put together. And as I've said numerous times, they have a lifetime warranty. The filtration will be far more superior than stock.

But really, all of the top names like Fass, GDP, BD, Airdog you cant go wrong, just pick what you like.

Id agree w/ that, except BD in this case, they use Carter pumps which are notorious for failing

But they have good customer service from my experiences, and they stand behind their product. Would I buy the BD kit? No, but they are still a good choice and alot have had good luck as well as bad luck.
