Max boost on 3rd gen twins is like 10 or 12 pounds. They just spool quickly. So a lill better performance

oh lol well i just thought using two turbos on a stock 9.4:1 12a seems a little scary, ive been told its dangerous to boost more than like 14psi on a 12a.

just curious with those twins what psi are you putting out and are you gonna use meth/water, and is the engine fresh? but at any rate that would be a badass project and im lookin forward to seening it

Twins is a mad idea. I'm thinking of selling my s5 turbo and getting two smaller ones, maybe some t2's or stock 12a turbs. Should be lots of fun on the street.

Edit: I meant to add that getting better boost into the mid range would be a good idea on unopened high comp 12as like ours. your less likely to do 7k+ shifts and stress the internals IMO. Twins will do this nicely.

Thanks guys, The engines not fresh. think she still under 88K Although she smokes pretty good in the morning. But that could be just the carb. Im not too worried. I do plan on a rebuild with street ports.
