Default Gen-TT G8 Development Complete and Shipping

Being the first requires a lot of hard work.....and designing and building the G8 Gen-TT Intercooled Twin Turbocharger kit took plenty of time, effort, and testing miles! However as you can probably imagine the wait has been well worth it, as these cars with 600rwhp are pehnomenal!

A big front mount intercooler dominates the view on this HSV GTS (which has been through our local CARB style certification) but the turbocharger kit is totall stealth, tucked away under the car, but capable of delivering 5psi boost pressure by 1500rpm. This car is awesome

In fact dont take our word for it, read the full G8 Gen-TT Intercooled Twin Turbo review from Australias 'Street Machine' magazine (the biggest aftermarket mag in the country)

Gives you guys something to look forward to over the next few months while you wait for your cars to land

Will there be any changes in the kit for the US left hand drive vs. the Aussie right hand drive?

What type of fuel system and drivetrain upgrades did you do to the test vehicle?

Do you have any graphs you can show us showing the power curve?

I know it's early but what have you found to be the safe boost / power level for those cars to remain reliable?

I will likely wait for the 2nd year of the G8 to see if they work out any bugs (no more first year cars for me made that mistake with my 98 Formula) but if I do get one I can seriously see this going on the car the day I take delivery.

Is that a US spec. G8 that you're putting the kit on? If so, what tuning software are you using?

I like the idea of being able to have a TT kit waiting on a new car to arrive, but if i cant tune it...... lol i might be a bit frustrated.
