Because the new one is made by the same company that is proven that works. So why not..

Just curious. For the extra $2500-3000 that you would have to spend to get the tvs, is it really worth it. How much extra hp/tq will you be getting with the tvs. I know it is suppose to be quieter, lower iat's and black. What else would justify spending the extra money. I have a polished mp112 that I have had for 3 or 4 years that I have never installed. Just had it upgraded to fit my NNBS Sierra and I am waiting for my 6.0 to be built before I put it on. Hopefully should be finished in a couple of weeks. Tell me why I should spend the extra money for the tvs. I am definitely not knocking the tvs, I would love to have one, but why spend the extra $. Please let me know if I am missing something here.

I have wrestled this demon! Determining "value" is way too subjective to justify without quantifiable goals (and how much money you have). But forgetting about the money for a moment...in this case the goal is to make more power and have better performance. Even though Breeze already a potent package, he has gone as far as he can with the MP112. I had reached that point with my MP112 as well...you can only spin it so fast before it makes more heat than power, diminishing returns. When you have pushed it to its maximum efficiency, and you want to go faster, you need a larger blower (unless you use nitrous, then you will need the larger blower after you've maxed out on nitrous). Anyway, for $1700 he could get a bump from a 122hh upgrade but that will max out quickly as well, as I have found. But for the extra $3000 he will have potential for another 150+ hp & tq over his MP112. Is it worth the extra $$$ for the TVS? If you have disposable income and your goal is to go faster.

that and the incedible awe factor....


I am impressed with the way the blower feels...it's wasn't that my 112 was lacking, not at all, the 112 was great. The TVS is the next gen, the next level...The TVS comes on hard...and the power keeps coming on!

Yeah the radix is nothing to sneeze at. It does it's job well. GoatChs nailed it. More effiency along with you don't have to pull timing due to increased IAT's. (one of the very reasons it feels like it keeps pulling I am sure)

Breeze's post is pretty simple...but think about how cheap it is...
  • ONLY 10K on the Blower...it does look brand new IMO.
  • Comes with 4 freaking pullies
  • You get BOTH JTubes, 75MM and the 90MM. BOTH Tubes!!!
  • SHIPPED price!!! No PM me with shipping costs to 99644...Shipping INCLUDED.

Man the TVS disease is spreading quickly!

Seriously, good luck with the sale and I'd like to see the TVS on by March 28th at Cecil.

Will this come complete? What would I need to bolt this on an 04 GMC Yukon 5.3?
