Twincharger recommendations please

ahoy! I am interested in purchasing a TC kit for the MINI. I searched, but didnt find anything to the effect of a review. I'm curious as to how those that have it(whether it ALTA, SPI, whatever) like it. Or just point me to a place where I can find what other people have said.

HP gains

Quarter Mile times

Gas milage difference

Longevity of the motor afterwards(how long have you had the kit with no problems?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Check out the twincharge thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=59630

Basically don't turn up the boost too much and your motor should be fine w/o changing out pistons or other parts. If you want to push 300WHP seems like you must change out your pistons at least.

I don't know about you, but the personal touch does it for me. Give Eric at Helix a call then call somebody at SPI and Alta. See who knows their stuff and stands behind their work.
