I am limited to 15psi right now because I am still in the process of installing a second W/A intercooler. After that gets done, I hope to push closer to 20psi. Still, at 15psi and 15 degrees of timing, this thing moves. I ran the 12.69 with stock heads, stock cam, and stock trans. I have since upgraded the trans to 3.29 with 1" chain, but haven't made it back to the track.

There are a few other people running twin-charged as well. The real advantage to twin-charge is that you can run a bigger turbo like a 70 or 72, and not have lag.

Here's a pic of my setup right after I installed: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...winCharged.jpg

Looks sweet. I wanted to keep the s/c til the turbo spooled up. but is it worth it(money wise) or would it jus be better to dump the s/c and jus go with the turbo?

whats the max boost that the 66 can push? Because my goal is to get into the mid-low 10's within a year or 2. Would the z7 kit work or would I be better off with the stattama kit.
