LMM: MPI Twins

[jckleewein]

I will be receiving MPI Twins in about 4 to 6 weeks :happy2::fluffy::nana3:

I ordered the S366 and S480 kit.

I feel like a little kid that just got a toy that can't wait to get home to open the toy up I just have to wait a little longer to play with the toy, but it will be worth it.

 

[TIM Z]

congrats man!

 

[8100 Power]

Congrats. After the trans go in next week, I'll be looking at the twin kits and hopefully buying me one soon!

 

[delong_1]

nice!!! i know the feeling, but at least mine should be here the last week of this month.

 

[Smokin LB7]

I believe thats cheating JC...our race was single turbo only. :hug:

 

[turk walker]

congrats!!!
The wait SUCKS but definately worth it.

 

[zfuller123]

Yes .... the wait is a killer.. currently waiting on my new twin kit from Nathan... Hoping to see it in the next week or so!

 

[Kat]

Congrats :rockon:

:baby:I don't think a 71.41 mm against a 67.8 mm was a fair match, but I still think I would have won. I think MPI has another twin setup sitting around for you Zach. Don't worry I will give you a ride.:hug:

Waiting sucks, but this kit should be worth it. Everyone that has this kit has had good things to say about it. The truck should pull really good up here in Colorado. This thin air is a killer on power, but these twins should help out a little bit.

Congrats, and x4 on the wait. Are you going to upgrade the intercooler?

Which Zach were you talking to??

That is a good question. How benefical would it be to upgrade the intercooler?

I have thought about doing it in the past, but I remember reading that a lot of mfg's were having problems with blowouts under high boost pressures.

Sorry - Smokin LB7 - Another coloradan

I'm changing mine. Because of the way the LBZ intercooler tube routes so much differently from the LB7 and LLY ones, Nathan was having trouble finding a truck to build my kit on. I was just wondering if he found a truck to use or if you were changing your plumbing around like me.

I have heard of some companies having tank issues, but I don't think they would be any worse than the stock plastic tank. I think we were looking at either the Banks or BD intercoolers. Both have cast tanks that wouldn't have the expansion problem like some of the Spearco sheet metal tanks have had, but I think Nasty Girl did have tank separating issues with a few of the Banks units before he finally got a good one.

 

[jckleewein]

I am not for sure. Nathan told me that he didn't have instuctions for my setup. He said he would help me if I have any issues. I guess I will wait and see.
I thought I read somewhere that PPE has a good intercooler. That might be an option.

 

[JoshH]

The PPE is one of the sheet metal tank types.

 

[NJ_LLY]

Nathan is building four kits right now. one of them is coming to NJ

 

[zfuller123]

I sure hope one is on it's way to Grantsville too.... My trucks down until i get mine.

 

[JoshH]

I guess that makes at least 5 kits he has on order then.

I have had my Spearco for a couple years now and have had boost to 52 lbs with no problems. Congrats on the twins. I hope to get some soon.
