My KB's been rock solid after 15000miles! Just need to find an intercooler or spray meth so I can safely turn boost up to 10lbs.

While the MP112 lets air bypass the lobes.

Correct me if I am wrong.
Th bypass duct is a tract from the inlet to the outlet. The valve is halfway down the tract. Under vacuum below 2000rpm, the valve is open and the natural aspiration of the engine draws air through this path. . As the boost builds somwhere around 2000rpm the twin screw gets ahead of the natural aspiration of the engine and the intakes is boosted at which time the bypass valve slams shut and boost builds up even quicker. Full boost depending on pulley size comes on at 2000rpm.

Maybe this is the engineer in me, but what if you made/had machined an adapter plate for the whipple blower to fit on the intercooler manifold that came with the radix... It would probably be very expensive, and complex, but it would be unique
What do you think something like this might cost and involve?? I have always wanted a twin-screw and to fab up some kinda I/C setup like Ryan did, but I'm gettin a killer deal on a Radix this summer that I can't pass up. I was thinking though that later on down the road I might try and throw a Whipple on there if it can be done...
