We are going to bring the Twincharge kit to market

So last night the 6 people and a case of beer sat down and buried the hatchet. What came from that meeting is this:

1) Twincharged has agreed to let us outlet his Twincharge kit
2) Twincharged will allow us to carry his new fuel plate for the Redline and cobalt
3) Twincharged and his partner (who will remain nameless till he gets his ass on here) are going to develop the tuning suite for the FP to allow us to (EDIT: I got yelled at by Ray for disclosing this info.).

What does this mean to you guys? Well, aside from the obvious, it means that we are going to be able to put you guys side-by-side with a lot of the upgraded turbo SRT4's for a fraction of the cost that they tipically spend on thier upgraded turbo kits.


So, what do you guys/gals think? Feel free to cross post this to the cobalt site because I don't have an account there yet.

Twincharging is putting in a turbo in addition to the S/C.

That is awsome news. I was thinking about buying a SMT6 next week, do you think I should hold off? I WILL buy the TC kit when it comes to market.

Is Twin's setup production ready and now just needs to be kitted? or is there more testing that you guys want to do?

Awesome.

Yet, must know one thing.

HP/TQ gains, and cost.

That would be my deciding factor, for the most part....

It might shoot your warranty all to flying blue fu*k, but with the hp you GAIN it's almost worth it.

no chance of it NOT doing that, unless you're like whoever that guy was in the florida area :P

strapping on a turbo to the car i can prettttty much guarantee it'd void the warranty ;p
