for a few pages already it has been posted that the TT kit requires lots of customization and relocation of parts that make it unfeasible to sell it as a production kit...however i am sure if you have the coin you can send the car to AZ and get it fixed just like that.. In any case makes no sense if the single can perform as the TT on build engines and produce more TQ as well as being cheaper on installation .....TTs demand is driving right now that they are proven kits both stock block and build blocks where the ST kits out there are only proven on stock block... Build blocks haven't been able to produce a lot of whp with ST kit unless a person runs a custom kit... but thats why...

If you have the flow I'm sure you can send your car to them for the TT set-up.

Problem I see in producing the TT kit is:
1. NO A/C
2. Re-locate ALL of the fluid tanks
For those two reasons, I don't see this ever getting into production. While some would think - "screw the a/c and who cares about the tank re-location" many would opt out of the kit for those two reasons alone.
It's a great idea and an awesome display of power if seen through completion, but I don't see but a couple of die hards out there that would take their car to this level. While we all would like to think we would dive in and go this route if we could, most of us would probably role back into our shells if we were told you could never use the window washers and never have a/c. Even the power steering might have to be ditched...
Regardless, awesome kit for a custom setup.

I could live without Windshield washer fluid use, but I couldn't live without power steering. My other two cars currently do not have functioning air conditioning, so I can't say whether or not I would mind taking that out. But I am a bit use to riding without it....LOL...

I'm not sure where you got your information, but I think you are a little misinformed.I stopped by Intense and saw the car a couple weeks ago. I spoke with Han and Mike as they showed me the engine bay. They didn't say the A/C was going to be eliminated and indicated that it would be relocated. Also, Han said they are considering putting electric power steering on the car.
As far as relocating the fluids... it requires some custom fabrication, but I don't think it is that big of a consideration or limiting factor. It has already been done by TurboTim at SFR for his twin throttlebody intake manifold. Therefore, I don't think that the relocation of the fluids will be a big hindrance for Intense or a deterrence for potential customers.
I'm not sure about losing the window washing function (I didn't think to ask about that
), but if what you say is true, I don't think many people would care. I'm sure that there are a lot of guys (including me
) that would be willing to stop at a gas station to squeegee the windows every now and then in exchange for a superior performing and superior looking twin turbo system.

patiently waiting and saving lol
this is a question for the guys at powerlab and intense motorsports. Since you guys stated already this kit will fit the 06 rev up engine. would this kit as well fit aftermarket headers like the turbonetics does the DC headers and Alphawerks headers???? and if not these 2 brands would u guys be able to tell us wich headers will fit for the guys that already have headers on their cars.
is the turbo only bein spooled by one or both headers exhaust exit? driver or passenger side? or both? like the turbonetics single turbo for the new mustang gt's.
Also wil there be a Tuner kit for those of us who already have or can easly have access to fuel pumps utecs and injectors??? would the tuner kit be over 5k? or just under that ammount?( this might be answered on official release date)
another question is at what point in the rpm range does the full boost kick in?? would the car be easily driveable without hitting boost? can a water/meth injection kit easily co work with this turbo kit in case we want faster spooling time?
would the average install time still be like the other ST kits rated at 8-12hours?
alot of us have put the plans on turbonetics and sts on hold to see how this kit turns out and put our money and trust with you guys, i have personaly purchased from ur shops b4 and love the service and the delivery u guys give to your customers. the dynos for this kit looks like it would make a great street driven car at 7-8psi.
thank you guys for reading.

There is a merge pipe that combines into a single up pipe for the turbo, so yes it is driven by both banks.
As far as spool, my car (the one in this thread) has a 1.06 a/r turbine housing. I wanted to try it out. I can tell you that full boost is around 4k however don't let that fool you. Spool is great and "off boost" drivablility is great. Even under vacuum the the flow from the turbo makes the car even torquier. In any case the production kit will probably come with an .82 and the 1.06 being an option. When I drove the prototype with the .82, boost was instantaneous to the point where it would light the tires at will... My other car being a t66 powered 240 I wanted a bigger turbo feel.
water/meth could help in spool faster with more aggressive timing, but that will depend on your altitude, ambient temps, availible octane, etc. Remember our test bed is AZ where it's over 100 degrees at night and we only have 91 so you may see better results than us.
Installation time should be comparable to the TN kit. Also I can tell you we are in the final stages of releasing the kit. I apologize for the long wait but we (all involved) just have sooo many things going on at the moment.
