Thanks,

I think the turbo route was a better choice for your application considering how much modification and extra money it would take to do twins on your truck.

Yeah, how's it coming along? How come you haven't been teasing us with progress pictures and reports?

Do you mean it went through CFD simulations? Parts of it or the whole assembly?

progress is seemingly very slim to none. but i'm told/hoping it will be all but done in a few weeks.

That is what I meant....

And I actually needed to edit my post from up top with this.

The design will go through quite a bit of CFD type simulation soon. We just picked up the software. From an engineering standpoint the bends in the system will not effect flow of boost in a negative matter opposed to having tight bends prior to the supercharger.

what CDF you using? FlowWorks (add on of SolidWorks) by chance? Or are you talking flow bench testing?

Not sure what type of simulation software it is but we do not use SolidWorks for design.

We also have a flow bench here but I haven't seen any data or if the unit has been set up on it yet.
