Don't hold me to it but we are looking at the $4800 range for the base kit, without water injection. That is subject to change, but that's the ball park.

I spoke to Eric today and he would not tell me anything. That is probably cause I can't keep a secret .

Twincharger Kit installed on completely stock 2004 MCS

We installed our Twincharger Kit on a completely stock 2004 MCS over the weekend. After a few runs on the dyno, the customer drove back home to Maryland - probably in much less time than his trip up to NJ!

Completed installation:



Dyno Plot: before and after installation



Video of dyno run:

http://spipowerexcel.com/newimages/s...s04dynorun.mpg

We are very excited with the results since this is the ultimate MCS sleeper. It's nice to be able to have a conversation in a MCS without speaking very loud....
One thing we did notice is that the factory exhaust does restrict flow somewhat at higher rpms, but the hp and torque numbers are still very impressive.

That's really sweet. Any info on how well it gets power to the ground? How easy is it to get wheel slip? This is my biggest concern, coming from an AWD car, I'm not too keen on the whole wheel slip thing.

Considering the stock S will spin the wheels rather easily....





I'd recommend LSD...

Is there any problem with heat inside the interior? It would seem a good idea to put some reflecting material in the back of the turbo, since some cutting had to be done for fit.
Otherwise,great kit

Did you order a stock-size pulley yet?

If so, there's a guy here who needs your 19%:

I've just gone unemployed. That is good, and bad. It means I will have plenty of wrench time....until the funds begin to dry.

I think I'll keep quiet about my progress until complete. I need to regain the title of "fastest MINI on Cape Cod" from a certain nitrous loving gentleman.
Until then, I'm brushing up on my second language...German.
