Anybody running the twisted turbo setup? Saw it at the snow show and liked the look of it. How do they perform in comparison with all the other turbos ??

Shain just helped us with a M7. It was not his kit or his problem. He bent over backwards to help and answer questions. Yes he answered when a phone call was made. I dont know how he gets anything accomplished in the shop, he has to be on the phone all day.
Customer service like that, you cant find everyday! If I need anything Shain has my business...
Shane and Lyles kit for the Polaris looks promising... design outsidee of the box....
Using the BOV as an idle/vacuum air supply is an interesting approach to the extremely low volume charge tube/box assy.
I'll be interested to see the long term performance of the prototype units that twisted has out there with some reporting on the tuning process, engine internals, oiling & premix setup etc...
New products are always a plus for the consumer... pushes development across the board!

I got to ride Shains turbo dragon for a few hours monday afternoon, the sled rocks!! This is gonna be a very popular kit.

I really do like the innovation of the twisted kit, but my one gripe with it is having to premix the fuel. I know how dumb that sounds but honestly the ease of pulling up to a pump and just fueling up is so nice, I'm not sure its something I could go without.
Needless to say I would really really like to get a chance at riding one of the twisted set-ups this winter!
Dunatic: Where did you get the chance to ride Shains sled? Do you know if he will be around in Utah at any point?

It's really not that tough to premix, I used 2 - 6 gallon gas cans last year, instead of pouring the oil in the sled, I just dumped it in the gas can using a ratio rite cup, and then filled the cans. not that tough....
Shain took me up to the Uintahs on monday, he needed to go up and test/tune some sleds. He lives in Ogden, and I know he would be happy to take you for a ride anytime, just call him.

update on the twisted d8 i have put 600 miles on at 15 #s of boost with not one reed failure or oiling problem ,I have worked the sled extremely hard trying to hurt it and I have to say it starts first or second pull every time it has not had to be towed not once.
Yesterday it pulled a couple chutes that the m10 turbo would not pull in fair ness to the m1000 it has a stock skid and my d8 has a kmod with 174

Shane .... sounds great. Post up some pix here. Lets have a look at that sukka!
How many of these kits are out there in Customers hands?
Any of those kits "customer installed"?
At 15 lbs of boost, what fuel are you running?
What cyl head and CR are you running?
How is that working for low end throttle response before it gets into boost? [ie low speed maneuvering in the trees]
Any details on your reed valve setup?
Is that Lyles sled you are talking about with the 600 miles on it or do you have your own?
John, Have you put some days/weeks on your own TD-8-Twisted yet?

This is on the 2010 original polaris map? Have any teaser vids of the chutes?

stock reeds,my sled lyle is riding m1000,I am running the 10 map and head just like it comes from polaris,I am going to port it next.and Im running 112 sunoco
Shane,
Good info...
Some questions on your kit for me and other potential buyers of your kit.
1) Boost levels: You mention 15lbs... which is what you are all about.. max power... but I'd like to run on straight 100LL... How many lower level boost kits have left your door? (8-10lbs)
2) Charge Temps: What charge temps are you seeing?
They gotta be pretty high at 15 lbs and no intercooler...
3) Stock reeds: Have you had any reeds out for inspection that have more than 500 miles on them? (pics)
4) Intake: Did you and Paul work out a fresh air intake that is plumbed into the system?
5) BOV: Since this is also the Idle/off-boost air supply in your system... Did you come up with a filter for this to keep belt dust and underhood dirt/water out of the engine?
6) Exhaust: what are your exhaust outlet options...Is it straight side panel outlet or are there quieter options available? (pics)
7) Controller: Has Derek been able to get you the attitude boxes on time?
Do you have your own Dobek programmer to "tweak" the setups from attitude?
Has Derek been out riding with you to tune these for more than a couple of hours?
8) Sled models: Will you have options for the CFi 700? [what turbo are you using Eg GT2860.. ]
Bud said that Amber's M-1000 rips with your kit in it... He sure did make the TT kit look good with that super clean install.
Sounds promising. I'll be looking closer at your kit after the long term testing is done for a turbo project next season on the new chassis.
I'm interested in hearing the customer reports on the longer term for this turbo kit... after say 1000-1500 miles.
PICS.... WE need pics of your latest install on the Polaris.

Duner... NICE PIX!! ...New laptop wallpaper material!
Shane,
As far as the intake goes... having a CLEAN LOOKING cold air intake as opposed to a "snorkel" type intake will make a Big difference in me or other consumers buying your kit.
I really hope that you are able to work well with FNI (Paul) on this and come up with something as clean as he has developed for HM turbos, SPS etc...
The exhaust noise and exit location are also another big consideration for the purchase for me. An out the tunnel exhaust would be ideal with a muffler as well... I plan to ride Co with the sled and a straight side exhaust is not an option... as well as the fact that I detest sleds that are, avoidably, too loud.
Many potential Turbo buyers share this view.

the exaust goes out the stock hole and has a quiet muffler on it all the kits will run from 4 to as much as you dare all my customers are running 8 to 10 on 100 ll except 1 is running 7 on 91

Are you thinking in the $5000-$6000 range?
