AS you wish.... I'm getting all antsy already...

 

post the info robert

 

I'll respect Craig's wishes.

 

Who needs more info?

 

Sweet

 

Spill it Robert. U know u wanna.

 

At least hit me up with a PM or something.

 

So when everything is said and done, how much of the original kit will remain?
You are getting a new turbo, some of the piping, what about the i/c, WG, BOV, etc?

 

Stand by for more info when the car's together and running. Give it a few more weeks. Next week the welder/fabricator is supposed to be in the shop doing the piping so the motor will have to be in it by then. Then, I'm waiting on a few more parts and testing out my upper AC line fitment before getting a custom one done. After that, it should be ready to tune and break in.

 

cool

 

Function Tunned did my piping while the engine was out of the car. You might want to look into that since the fitment is so tight. My car should be ready this week so I'll let you know how it works out. I used a GTK 650 though.

 

My turbo should look somewhat familiar to you then.

Yeah, I'm going to leave it up to them as to whats best with piping fabrication. As long as it gets done I'm happy. I don't have the luxury of living within short driving distance of the shop so I have to trust that Jeremy and PF know what they're doing with the piping.

 

That's kind of cool. If a decent part of the original kit gets reused, then maybe the PF would eventually put together an upgrade set for the TN kit (like the never materialized "stage II") and give the current TN users an alternative to switching to Greddy twins for more power.

 

We've already discussed the possibility of a premade piping upgrade. I think there would be a good market for this. Of course, the pipes would be a little different from mine as by turbine has a T4 inlet flange and a 3" vband outlet.

The same overall piping design would remain the same, though.

I wonder how many people would be willing to fork up a couple hundred bucks for a 3-3.5" downpipe and a full 2.5-3" up pipe?

 

A LOT, I reckon... Seems a little bit cheaper then converting to twins.... But then again, what do I know?

 

the demand for the piping is going to depend on what you and I get out of this setup. Good luck getting anymore than a 3" downpipe.

 

So is function tuned planning on selling pipes?

 

Do you think there would be alot of improvement or some with this size piping on an stock TN kit? If so, then I think alot of people would come forward to buy. This way they'll already have it when they go for a built motor.

 

If the gains are there then most likely YES.

 

I'm sure there would be mostly top end gains.
