All it is you have to flip the transferport the way that the original TP is facing UP. Plus put a 1.5- 2mm hole in the place where the dual TP would have been.

Also shortened the hst few coils so it won’t ping and stuff. Have detuned I.e. lowered the reg setting so can use more air while on the regulator too.
It is superb.

While you keep it around 575fps.
That way you can keep the high reg setting.
