Another twin thread... Garrett Ball Bearing Twins

OK everyone, just like waiting all that time for smarty TNT, I've teased a little concerning my Ball Bearing twins from Garrett...

Here's a pic...

These turbos are basically a GT4088r hybrid over a GT4208r hybrid. The primary has since been converted to a GT4218r hybrid. (GT4718r compressor wheel with GT45r turbine in a 4202 housing)

Look pretty trick!

I see I am not the only person to torch the sound deadening material on the firewall behind the top turbo....

Nice!

I like how you can tap the oil supply for both turbos off of one port of the oil filter adapter since the BB turbos need less oil than the journal bearing turbos.

It looks like the intercooler pipe is awfully close to the corner of the battery tray? Hopefully, it doesn't scratch the nice paint job via the motor vibrations.

Looks good. How much more $$ do you see this kind of set up coming in over an equal horsepower kit from MPI?

Everyone moaning about the price needs to decide just how much near-instantaneous response is worth to them.

I hope you went with a large housing or that hybrid primary can see some high drive pressures if you push it to higher PRs.

Nice looking setup soule, what color is your truck?

We've been on here about the same amount of time, went from the same ol Banks to what we have now. You have much more than me, but we've both made great leaps in changing our rigs to make them OURS, distinct and personalized. Good job!

Hohn, Soulezoo any insight on how well a stage 2 would be suited in a twins set up with perhaps using a gt4202. Threads like this just get me going.

I have to know what the price is before I can moan about it!

I actually did that with my old twin set, not these.

I have trimmed the battery box since those pics.
