May's Cummins of the Month is now open for VOTING!
MPI Twin Install
5
Got done putting in the stock/475 twins a few weeks ago and havent gotten around to posting up some pics and such so here it is.
The twins look terrific and perform just as advertised. The truck has much more throttle response now and has some truly incredible top end power. Install was not too bad for someone with no experience putting compounds in, and I was able to take my time since I own another vehicle and didn't need the truck to get around. All in all, I'd say it took me around 10-12 hours total over a couple of days.
EGTs are much lower now, especially in WOT, and the truck sounds like a F/18 getting ready to take off. I personally love the sound, but if you don't it can be easily drown out with a little music playing on the radio. Total boost though is at 60psi, with the intermediate being at around 20psi at WOT. I think that needs a bit of an adjustment to the wategate, but I'll get to it later. Without further ado, here are some pictures.
Here was everything laid out before I started throwing things into the truck.
Got most of the piping removed, with just the stock turbo and manifold left to take off.
Everything off, with just the downpipe left.
Stock turbo off
Everything all put together. Real clean looking setup with and MPI did a great job with the powder coating.
They are worth every penny and I would not hesitate to go back to MPI again. And a special shout out to Anarchy Diesel for sending me some new tunes for the twins. The tunes really made the kit shine and Anarchy got them out to me lickety split.
I'd recommend these to anyone.

Nope, everything fit exactly as it was supposed to. The instructions also tell you what to do first so that you can get to other stuff easily. But all the piping and oil lines went in without a hitch. Nathan built them perfect for me.
My only fiasco was yanking out the transmission dipstick which subsequently sent transmission fluid flooding all over the garage floor. My finger acted as the plug while the old man scrambled to find the replacement tube hahaha.
Wish I had had a video of it.And speaking of videos, I'll try to get a video of the twins in action if I can!
Now you have me thinking
