    I'll try and get an external video of the Regal in the next couple days.
    IMO the TVS sounds lovely.

    the more i read the more i find out that the mp112 isnt the blower for me anyway. sounds like the mp112 will start losing efficiency like crazy in comparison to the m90 when im pushing it on smaller pulleys. therefore the m90 is going to be a better candidate for a small pulley build.

    now, moving onto a CSC setup. hell yeah that would be cool, but i'm just not seeing myself come to it that quickly. is seems novel, but if i am going to do anything external i think i would just jump straight to a twin charged setup or just straight up turbo.

    Who cares if he spent 3K on it?

    I think that a CSC setup would be baddass. You really don't hear about them that much on our cars.

    You are really going out of your way to pick a fight with me... I'm not gonna take the bait but I will correct your misinformation.
    I spent under $1,000 out of pocket.

    Bio I'll get you a high quality external vid... the TVS is worth hearing.

    Gen 5 fits where it normally would and the CSC right around where the stock aribox would be?

    Which is where the turbo goes.

    Hence...TWINcharge...you'd be triple charging then.

    Ive alrady said there is a CSC forsale on CGP about the same price as the MP112 IIRC. Turbo it and be done. If you want more noise buy a bigger turbo............

    I don't know if I agree with Snow's claims of $1000. I think even with buying a plate from him for $300 someone is still going to end up paying more than $1000 for a TVS setup with all the additions needed, like the cost of #65 injectors if you don't already have them.

    The hail mary for him was selling his blower for $700 to someone. I don't think that he was wrong but that is a pretty premium price for that blower.

    I think that CSC setup over there was a Novi 1000 not a 2000 which still would make good power but I would personally rather have a 2000.

    There are a couple of turbo setups going for around $2000 on other forums. If I was looking to put down some serious power I would be looking at those. Even if the turbo is smaller you could always sell it down the road and upgrade to a bigger one.
