Changing things up…

Originally ordered the D1X, but the shipping/ordering process is taking too long so I canceled it.

I am now looking at a set of twins. Seems like AGP is the way to go, however, I do like how you can see the turbos with the hellion package. Both kits seems decently built. Advantage on the Hellion is that they come with the exhaust manifolds. Im assuming it comes down to preference.

Both companies have been historically great to deal with… Hellion used to do a bottom mount twins kit as well…

Do yourself a favor… make a firm decision on the cubic inch size you want and provide which ever turbo company you opt for this information as well as any other items you can firm up, so they can properly size your turbos to your desires, budget and goals.

You want to be in a good spot in the compressor map. This will save you a lot of headaches down the road, chasing IATs, broken parts, etc…

I’m happy with the 408. I’m going to let the turbos do the work. Got the fuel bits picked out, and I’ve had my after market clutch for a year now.

Now just the engine and boost is all I need. From the old threads, Hellion just dropped from the face of this forum. :/

While you’re changing things up can you buy an A and lose the E? Every time you post something I start twitching.
