So what's the status of this now? It's been like 2months. I hope you got the MCS back and give us some vids! I think you must have forgotten.

But I know I didn't!!!

Vader Vids still haven't happened...I don't think. Unless Maximus has secretly done some?

Well, get something! I mainly want to hear the twin charger (obviously) but would also like to see it driving and the exterior.

The Twincharger doesn't really sound much different than a stock MCS. The main differences being an obnoxious blow-off valve going "PSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!" every time you lift the throttle, and the no-muffler 3" exhaust blaring loudly out the back!

Performance, especially at full-throttle, is awesome. Extremely low turbo lag, it just burns the tires off and you're at redline and you shift and do it all over again until 4th gear! Drivability however, is lacking. It's a bit jerky, a bit unrefined, and at low-load the BOV and bypass valve tend to fight each other. These are things Maximus and I are slowly ironing out.
