Twin Charge in Oz

Has anyone over here set-up a twin-charge system? Either the Alta one or something custom made that is similar. I am looking at "investing" some money into the MINI and am currently looking at different performance ideas.

Turbo only is better imho
We will have a turbo kit out for the masses soon. I have run the twincharge for over 3yrs and I believe the turbo only to be superior if you are looking for top of the line performance

Not 100% if he is only doing a turbo or twincharged... he has a mammoth turbo to go on it anyway.

Todd,
what is "mammoth" ?

We have tested numerous turbo sizes on the car and some will NOT work right unless drag racing only. Regardless, it's great to see others starting to push the envelope. If he needs some pointers to keep from breaking stuff give me a ring.

I am pretty sure that Josh is doing something similar to the Alta set-up.

Talking I just bought my Turbo.

Hey guy's.

This is the first time that I have posted here for a looooong time.. Hey to anyone who remembers the Black 02-OXY mobile..

I have been talking about it for a while and now that my warranty is over I am doing it. I'm going to be custom designing the manifold and Mappings..

Anyone with any experience with other turbo conversions/ twin charging on other makes and can offer some input would be much appreciated..

Cheers

OXY
