Erik I know that your journey over the past year with your truck has been a nightmare, and you ended up tearing it back apart because it just doesn't work how you want it to. I too am curious on what you are going to do with the truck now? I seen the GT42 style High Power atmo for sale as well as the big daddy that was in the fender well. Whats next for the DPC winning truck that everyone has fallen in love with?

Erik... There is more then one way to have trips. But whatever it is you're doing I hope it works out for you!!

not going to speak for Eric but we are going with a more simple, proven, reliable setup. Triples have too much going on imo for a daily driver.

I like what Nathannial is saying though.

Correction, that style of trips has too much going on maybe lol. The more common style of trips is really no different then twins. And as far as reliability goes, I don't think any twins make more boost then back pressure like properly set up trips or use up the fuel like these trips.
Once I get mine dialled I will proudly put them against any "proven" set up of similar cfm and charger size.

Which is almost backwards to an ideal design. Mine make more drive then boost til about 20psi then start making more boost then drive. And that's without the use of gates.
I'm no turbo expert tho.

two stage compression works well... three stage only works well at constant conditions...
when you drop boost for any reason with a three stage setup, it takes forever to get everything spooled back up... all of the comp and turbine wheels/housings are fighting/restricting eachother
a pair of turbos blowing into one works pretty dang good actually. it's a coin-flip as far as spool-up/cost/simplicity/complexity/etc. but it works well
three stage not so much IMO

3 stages can work, and spoolup is instant at well over 1000hp , but i know in my application its was very hard to keep bp down AND keep the turbos from falling on their face thru the shifts.

Im not going to argue points of view with you, i know what my truck will do with a turbo setup that is simple as they come.....
either way Eric is getting what he wants and really thats all that matters in the end.

It has nothing to do with arguing lol, it's a friendly debate. You made a statement that I felt was short sighted. I commented lol. We are all here for the same purpose to enjoy, share and maximize our trucks for our own personal wants, needs and desires.
