I am curious as to how many of these bad boys are menacing the streets?

My guess is about 30 or so Twincharged Monsters and about 8 Turbo-Only Beasts (running or being worked on)...

I have no idea how many are out there..... seems like a small number but now that I think of it that might be high.....

anyone know?

what would also be nice to know as what are the dyno numbers? I think helix posts 260-265.... Tuls is some ungodly number as well as "he who shall not be named"

I am just curious.....

The Mule was Helix TurboKompressor installed, and I have done half a dozen or so here - typical numbers are 265+. The Mule was a hair over 300 at the wheels. I know Eric has done quite a few in Philly as well.

Don't know the number on units done in Phoenix or Alta "Twurbo" kits...

Hope that helps!
Randy

Did you sell the Mule? You're talking about it in the past tense........

I got to drive a twincharged Mini with the SPi kit on it about 8 months ago. I have no idea what whp it made, but it was impressive - damn impressive.

Bob - try to see if someone in your general area has one and take it for a spin. It may surprise you how much you like it.

I thought I had, but now I'm not sure - the deal is shakey (see the for sale section...)

I know that there are over 30+ of the "SPI" kit in the states as of about two years ago.. and possibly close to 10 overseas...

as for turbo only the #s are still mounting... I know of prolly 8-10.. but there's prolly more that we don't hear about

Not pathetic. Just different priorities in life. I waited 3 years to get my MINI, and 2 years to do this. All things in due time....
