    you will gain a little torque and get a lot touchier throttle and slightly mucked up shift points with either of them nothing a tune wont sort out though twins do look cool too and if you rolled back to a vr auto ecu you could go full mafless tune and twin pods

    We're moving away from the twins as we have other products that offer about 80% of the gains at a fraction of the cost (in regards to your average bolt on ecotec), such as our plenum spacer, manifold insulator and larger throttle body. In saying this we may have something else down the track

    You can buy these direct from us, and can make payment into our NZ bank account or paypal. Given you level of mods I would recommend simple bolt on items things like the manifold insulator, plenum spacer and throttle body. The twins will give you more power, especially when setup correctly however is much more expensive to setup. Given these new products we've developed we would only recommend the twins for high end engine build.
