there are, Tuls has one of the highest out puts though.
I think AZMCS Kalbone are running them, just to have a few more. You can always talk to the Fireballed group, Helix, and Alta.

Not sure if I asked this before in another thread or not but does going to TC eliminate the SC all together? Or is it an extention of it?

Call me crazy but Honeslty, life without the SC whine will never be the same for me. That is why I don't think I will ever do away with the SC. I think my projection with the m45 is an approximate 250 whp max if and when the good old gurus/vendors in our industry can produce enhaned tunes along with other mods that will eventualy put the r53 in that 250 range.

Here is for hoping they do.

TC adds a turbo and keeps the SC, so you have both, hence "twin."

I agree with you MSFITOY. Misfitoy and Tuls both rock.

Think he might sell MISFITOY if he couldn't drive it anymore?

Tuls, forgive me for asking as I'm sure you've coverd this many times in the past, however I'm not sure if I have read it but was curious to know if you are you still running stock pistons with so much power being put out by your TC?

If not would you be kind enough to briefly list the other mods that you did as I'm sure you deemed necessary when you went TC if it isn't too much trouble?

For turbo you can choose to make moderate, lots or gobs of power...
250, 300-350, or 400+ HP.

What if I had $15,000 is that enough or do I want to budget $20,000 for everything-

The kit, the mods to make the kit fit, the custom work, the other stuff to tune it properly, and the labor or consult fees to fine tune for my needs.

Of course this assumes I make no other errors that cost me more $$$ like I added something earlier that interferes or I have to remove a mod because now it's not needed or is replaced.

I have the TurboKompressor setup from Helix. It makes serious power, but like everything in life, there are trade-offs: less mpg, I can smell the engine since they removed one of the engine bay bulkheads for space and there's a bit of a yo-yo at -3psi of vacuum. I loooove shocking "faster" cars at red lights.

In the last year I've gone to a 3" straight-back exhaust by moving the battery into the back of the passenger compartment. No resonator and Magnaflow race can = sexy/loud/faster. Future plans include going to a 3" downpipe with a smoother sweep (the current 1.5 has almost a 90 degree bend). This will involve moving the power steering resevoir.

Oh, yeah...at a lapping day at BeaveRun, the power was amazing. I was runnng down 500 hp mercedes E50 AMG's, super-modded WRX's, etc.
