Mighty cool indeed! Was hoping to tackle Rainier on the 4th of July weekend in preparations for Denali, next year... Nothing like the challenge of a mountain... I really miss it! This one in Canada is like a miniature Matterhorn, and is one I'd like to experience...

Locked yet?
TUUUUuuuuLLLS...

So is Tuls gone forever? If so that f**kin sucks.. He's very insightful and I was always lookin forward to what else he would do... The bullshyt some of you people say is INCREDIBLE.. honestly..

Hope that makes some sense. I have no desire to speak for Tuls, but I'm pretty sure that this was made from a good ol' twin charge rig.

It accepts charge pipes from the left only, pipes which carry air charge from a turbo setup, and it feeds that air directly into the head. For it to work with a twin charge, there would have to be room where the old SC duct was for you to feed air into the SC, space which is no longer there... In short, it's one or the other.

Rite Two things...
1, sad to hear Tuls has left NAM it was his car that i got (ok well STOLE now i can admit that i dont wanna get locked up for theft
) the idea for the extended Bonnet stripes, i saw a photo of his car and 4 more in some night shots and loved the thing! nice job in creating such a nice and one off mini! and the power surley that thing must torque steer like a PIG but MY GOD congrats on getting the higest BHP figure on a BMW MINI do date (that I have seen)
2, and for you peps that want a BHP figure on paper here it is..

Good Luck on you next car Tuls! your work spreads further that you think! good luck from us all in the UK
Kind Regards
Rob

"you are correct that the SC and our manifold would not fit in the space together... the manifold does take up the space where the SC, SC intake and water pump used to be... the Throttle body remains in the same place... just bolted to the manifold..."
Perhaps you were referring to something else, though... I just figured that, if this was Tuls' car, he still had the twin charge, which excludes the manifold (yada yada yada...lol). Of course, if either this is a) not his car or b) he got his single turbo in earlier than he had told me he would (ie. not yet...
), then I'm wrong. But, at least about the manifold, as you can see Tuls said this to be true.
