The C5 ZO6 is an awesome car and with twin turbo installed it's just insane to drive, good luck with your TT project.

No modification to the front plastic fascia and the fog lights will also be retained on the trams Am.

I agree, the price is very keen though the price may vary a little ( maybe by $200 to $300) by the time we get the F body TT system into production so that's why the heading of the thread states preliminary pricing.

Thanks,

The big single intercooler certainly looks like it will package easier than 2 smaller intercoolers and should be less complex to install.

Not likely at this time though I don't want to completely rule out any IC approach until all of the product development/engineering is 100% concluded.

The highly specialized turbochargers are based upon custom Mitsubishi gasoline spec turbochargers with an Inconel 713C turbine wheel, liquid cooled bearing housing (50 lbs per minute mass air flow @ 18 PSI), APS single entry .84 A/R turbine housings with external waste gate port/provision and APS designed and manufactured .65 A/R compressor housing.

Well hey, you said that no front modification to the front bumper and we get to keep foglights!

Screw two intercoolers! This kit is a winner!!!

I'm 99% sure that there will be no cutting required on the plastic front fascia though there may well be some trimming of the bolt on front steel member.

As of now it's looks very possible/doable to retain the stock fog lights on the Trams Am F body.

I would keep stock cubes for that setup, but that's my opinion. I'd be worried about the turbos choking... But you need to make a thread later for that one...
