Time will tell, still a lot of work to be done....... Oh and No Turbo's and all custom. Completely custom minus the actual chargers and innercooling setup. Tuning is also completely custom and will probably be a one of a kind tune in the end.

Mick feels it flows a lot better than anything else he's tried. He likes it so well he wants to build one for the average " Mike " .

On another note, I did not get a chance to respond to your message. I'd grab that fca if the plug will fit.

I dont know if this twin sc setup is suited to the "average" guy. More likely for the slightly eccentric??? Its been a pretty big job to date but we are getting it ironed out now. I think a simple sc kit into a stock or slightly larger than stock (gt42 or similar) would be a nice setup. We are working on something there. Keep tuned. Remember this is only part of our lives so sometimes we seem a little slowwww...

Mick, with the 42 and SC set-up was there a great lag reduction associated with the 42? I'm almost thinking that a BOV would've been needed on the SC if there wasnt. Of course the exhaust is going to play a factor there but with my 4" straight pipe with stack, I dont see it being much of an issue.

Thanks dangerous. I didnt run the 42 with a sc only the 45. I did have a 42 on its own though and its just my feeling with all the different things we've done, that the 42 goes well up top but needs that start at the bottom. I think for everyday driving the 45 is a little big. Nice if your going to the track every other day but dd just a bit big as dd. As far as BOV's and wastegates go, so far we find that theyre not really needed, as with the sc you can determine your boost a bit easier by pulley gearing. With that Sc 45 we had it geared to run 60 psi when it made nearly 800 on the last tune. 60 is all we want on the stock bottom end. We have just finalised the gearing on the twin sc's to give us 60 psi also and now the second cp3 is on Mike will start getting serious with the tuning
