I'm not sure how something could be recomended without having a clue as to what you didn't like about the MP122? Are you considering going boost again? More boost, less boost? Anything you put on there for boost is going to be similar to what you already had.

I think Grippy has an idea already, he just wants to taunt us.

Of course he does, nobody as meticulous as he would go without a game plan. This is just another of his epic threads

I assumed he already had an idea, but was just going for opinion to see if his idea is really what he wants. After 2 years to get this one going it's odd that he didn't just drive it for a bit. He pretty well built his whole setup including switching the camshaft in the middle of what he was doing for one more suited to what he wanted with the MP122. With his current cam and compression he's going to want boost again. The cam he has is more suited to a blower than a turbo. The TVS2300 would be his best bet, but not with the excitement of needing bigger ***** to run it. There isn't a reason to run the TVS2300 for more boost, just cooler IAT's and a more efficient blower. Not that it can't do it, but why run more boost than he'd already planned. I don't know why you'd buy a blower just to max it out. If you do that then you really needed the next size up unit to not have to run it on kill all the time. He really didn't get to use what he had so I doubt it wasn't fast enough. I also doubt it was making the 600rwhp that was planned for. That's just my opinion though. If he didn't like the MP122 with how he had it setup I can only guess the TVS2300 isn't going to be what he wants either??? It would be my pick for what he really needs though. A Procharger or Vortech would be a 4 year project for him since they are more complicated with the tubing than a simple bolt and go Magnacharger. A Kenne Bell would just be a bad choice since the guys running the new big bore 2.8L's have had high IAT's and not much better results than the MP122's have had.

I'll be watching and interested. He seems to like working on it more than driving it and I like pictures. Go Grippy.

Sometimes the journey is adventurous and arrival anti-climatic. On with the journey!
