Also what is teh diff between a low pressure chamber or ....
a 4 stage Expansion chamber which one should i put on my gun ?

An expansion chamber is mounted on the bottom of the marker and is used as a grip. You only use them if you are using CO2 (not compressed air/nitrogen). Since CO2 is stored as a liquid in the bottle, the different "stages" of the expansion chamber break the liquid down into a gas form- other wise you couldn't shoot. The low-pressure chamber goes replaces the little chamber you see under the barrel. It basically gives the marker more air to draw from. I would definately go with expansion chamber before the LP chamber. I would probably get another barrel before both of them, if you haven't already.

Cool dude

Hey congrats on the new gun, you should have lots of fun with it.

ELCD grip frames are good, if there your sort of thing. At least with an E frame your gun will fire faster than a cocker (if thats what you want to do??)

Barrel is the first thing to spring to mind. If you shoot lots of diffrent site paintballs, Freak system is what I would suggest. Boomstick and SSR are good barrels as well.

Do you have an electric hopper?? Viewloaders are tried and tested.

Expansion chamber is easier to put on. Although might I suggest putting a secondary regulator on and having an air system instead of CO2. A little bit more expensive, but worth it in the long run.

Any other questions just give me a shout and i'll try my best to help you out, enjoy.

Get a barrel first. then a electric grip frame. If you are willing to spend some money you can get a lowpressure valve, inline reg and low pressure chamber. This will give you more efficientcy but costs a lot. Dont spend a lot of money if you are not going to need the parts.

I also just got a TL plus and could use a little help. Im kinda short on cash, so i dont think ill be switching to nitro anytime soon. The one thing im kinda wondering about is the fact that a friend mentioned that because the gun is cross-feed, balls wont drop down very quickly. If I did switch to an electro grip, would i need to get a new body, or would my cross-feed be able to keep up?

Dude

To be perfectly honest with you, I think you friend is talking $hit. I've got a mate who has fired all types of body gun. Lately he has been playing with a right hand feed Shocktech Cocker, and reckons there is no difference between them. Power feed (cross body) is fine. Most Shockers run power feed with no worries.

Dude, your power feed is cool, don't change it.

Any other questions just give me a shout, I'm more than happy to try and help :D
