It is a very slow process between making instruction and parts pick list, but we are getting there. Here are few pics for now, more to come soon .

Wow. Awesome looking setup, but will the radiator get any flow behind the twin intercoolers and what looks like 4 oil/trans coolers?

Sam, as a full system been built/installed/tested yet so we can get some ideas as to numbers and amount of labor needed, or is it not quite into pre-production yet?

The purpose of this thread is to show what we're doing with this design idea. When we get it on the dyno, you guys will be some of the first to know.

For installation time, we are estimating 16 hours since we were able to leave a lot of the factory components and accessories undisturbed. Overall, it is a very straightforward kit to install. Several systems have been sold already and the parts we are installing right now are our production parts.

It's a great looking kit so far! Without asking you to divuldge too much info, will the 2 SC's be comparable to the single SC stage 2 kit, or will it fit somewhere else?

More torque.... build power quicker. It's similar to a single turbo / twin turbo difference

Just like the twin turbo setup. The 1000hp intercooler covers the radiator. It's fine.

Yes, but this has an extra layer completely blocking the radiator. So it's IC -> intermediate coolers -> radiator, rather than HUGE IC -> radiator.

Oil coolers are typically mounted between the intercooler and radiator on our Twin Turbo Kits as well. No difference really. Just bear in mind that there is always going to be a compromise somewhere.

Here's an updated picture of our Twin S/C. We're just finalizing the belts right now.
