TTi twin kit bad points:

T3 sized turbos only
Very limited turbo choices
Air to Air intercooler that will affect the stock cooling system
etc etc etc

Its a MUCH MORE expensive APS kit that requires an oil pump for turbo oil return.
I would REALLY like to know where u got all this info about their kit. Considering only a handful have even seen it in person, not to mention its not even on the market yet. When this kit does come out I would like to see a comparison between yours and theirs. Dont worry its not gunna be a 3 year wait.

One of our customers called them and comparison shopped both kits, that's how we found out about it.

I would also like to see a comparison between both kits too, maybe we'll do that if we get the chance. But really the differences between the kits aren't seen in the dyno sheet but in the drivability, fit, finish, and other more qualitative aspects of our Ultimate Street setup.

Also I would like to point out that great things take time and 3 yrs to design something like that isn't unreasonable considering we did it on our spare time and with our own money.

Someone posted that same picture last week. It's not difficult to see the turbo location which will require a return oil pump. It's also quite visible that an aftermarket k member is being used. Air to air incooler not difficult to see either.

That's BS, They haven't released the spec's to anyone, also they know how to make power, mighty mouse has won the lsx shootout 3x running 8's with one of their race kits. If you want to keep this thread about your products then don't talk trash about someone else's.

If you want to compare quality just look at their 5th gen kit and their C5 & C6 kits, no log manifolds for one.

3 years for a LOG manifold design, not impressive at all. I highly doubt George said anything about that kit considering its not done/tested yet, for the sake of ur said so customer I could be wrong.

Holy ***** batman, a different k-member, a PROVEN return oil pump, and a A/A intercooler in front of the radiator. Thats a deal killer.

Lets not make this 20 pages of arguments, you feel its better, I hear you.

When they release all the info I'm sure someone will start a versus thread and we can go back and forth in that thread til' the cows come home.

If you have seen this kit in person you would be impressed. And don't forget they didn't take 3 years to build 1 kit they took 3 years to tool up to make many kits and they had 3 + kits ready to go when they said "okay now we are done." Don't forget they built their k-member. Its not a BMR unit. That alone would be more work than your run of the mill single turbo kit.

You asked how it could be known what this system consists of. I told you how I know by looking at the picture. I gave absolutely NO opinion on it.
No need to be defensive with me.

He didn't comment on your post, if you read it you'll realize he's talking about modular turbos post. No need to get defensive.

Bottom line, TTI's products speak for themselves, they just build it and let the customer decide, they don't hype it for years or show pictures or take preorders. They started this kit in the fall and is ready to hit the dyno, they have their own dyno just waiting for the time to run it.

I dont think a blind man would be impressed with something like this.
Not impressive:

Just cause that car has a different K-member doesnt mean it requires one. I was referring to the T3 turbo's only and very limited turbo comment. I dont know what "etc,etc,etc" means but i think he didnt have anything else to throw at it.

You are basing you opinion on a prototype pic? One that has been chopped on, rewelded, cut again, welded again and fitted to a dirty motor? That is what you believe they are producing to be sold? You had to do a search to find that old pic nice work detective. The thread with the build and current pics is easier to find.

You can't route those discharge pipes around an aftermarket, tubular K-Member and expect it to fit a stock K-Member.

I actually did take the time to look for the pics of the revised log mani's but all i would see is lil blue question marks for all the attachments. I play fair.

What im getting at is just cause some one post a pic doesnt mean u know the ins and outs of a non released kit.

Do you think you've made your point now? This thread isn't even about a twin kit.

I think he did, I think the point is when you talk negatively about another companies product you open yourself up to be challenged. I think Modular turbo has made a habit of this, last year it was Kentucky Turbo that he was commenting on.

Bingo, just cause george is no longer a sponsor doesnt mean its right to downgrade his work. It just so happends that when Modular turbo got a bit lippy about Kentucky Turbo products Josh was here to step in, George not so much.

Call me a nut swinger if u like but I know which companies will and will not get my business nor recommendation.

Im done.
