If you wanted to up the boost, the tvs will get you more with your 6.0. Also I've read the tvs has alot lower IAT.

The TVS is a much more efficient unit because of design improvements. So for higher boost levels, you'd be better off with the more efficient unit. Also like dlt said, the mp112 will run hotter.

Buy the TVS2300 and be done with it. If you go small now (112 or 1900) you will want bigger later and you will get to do it twice. Believe me I know.

I talked to Joe today and He gave me a pretty good price and answered all of my questions. How much more do the 2300's run and would that be ok to run on a basicly stock truck for awhile?

Judging by your sig you have a pretty stout setup. Got any numbers or track times?

I have the mp112 and yes it runs hotter iat than the tvs. When I was buying mine which was 8-9 months ago the price difference was like 2000. You must be getting a hell of a deal. I asked around and for what I wanted the mp112 will do. The gains are not much, I could do more with the $2000 and be faster than just having the tvs.

The 112 is a great blower, do not misunderstand and as said above the $ difference between units is large as so many 112s are on the market at very affordable prices. The TVS's advantages as stated are increased efficiency and cooler IATs due to improved rotor design, larger intercooler and relocation of the IAT sensor to the intake runner. If you have the $ go TVS. If you want a dependable blower to bolt on and get great power both units will do the job.
