Im just happy to see some more quality kits hitting the market for the F-bod.
Good luck to all of you. And keep up the good work.

Our kit regular price for the non-ic system is $4499 with a T70. Till friday we are knocking off $400 off any complete system.

i understand ptk is a strong and proven company.. and that their kit should work well. but it also should have been available what 6 months ago and it still is not. i'm just not the type to count my chickens before hatched based on my experience with the ls1 aftermarket. also hard to say how the pricing will pan out.. seems the 'deluxe' version is still around 7k.
i dont doubt it will be a good product in the end. they wouldn't put out something not to be proud of.
just in case you were thinking Clipper, the tti race kit is for cars without a/c but keep power steering and anything else. if you are looking to keep a/c and are fine with 600rw or below, their street kit is available for $5800 with bov, wastegate, intercooler included. not extra.

TTi Race Kit comes with
ITS GT80R Turbo
Godzilla BOV
ITS Pro-Gate Wastegate
Big A2W IC with Battery sized resovoir
etc...etc....etc...
But I will say this...If i had to choose..I would choose PTK..cause the under the hood pics look 100% better than Phants under the hood pics. Of course thats just IMHO.
And the coating on the PTK system looks hella nice too!!!
you can get Speed Inc version of TTi Race kit for $7299.99

Remember our system has been available for a while now. Just not much marketing has gone into pushing the systems. PTK has been covered up lately. Also our systems with the air to air is only 5699 with the T70 at regular price, which is still cheaper then the TTI street kit, make well over 600rwhp, keeps all the accessories and you don't have to worry about dragging your system over a speed bump. Also the price above doesn't include the $500 dollar off special we are running.

I paid phamspeed and in 5 days time I had a kit, minus the turbo but that arrived about a week later so in two weeks I had a kit, i'm as impatient as they get but this really did impress me, especially with the horror stories i've read about on waits for turbo kits. I was waiting for a local company(HP performance) to release their Fbody kit, but got tired of waiting. I can't wait to install the rest of it, but I put off the install until the rest of my odds and ends arrive...silicone connectors, rest of the materials to coat my own pipes and a flange for the massive discharge on the GT42.
Like hellraiser said, all accessories are retained, but the alternator is relocated.
PTK has an awesome deal going on right now, so cost is about the same for both kits.
If you have questions, Jose@forcedinductions is always quick to help and I got John at phamspeed on the phone on the first try. So it looks like you can't go wrong either way.
Both kits should have awesome potential for RWHP/TQ more than most need anyway.

All I have to say is if you want a turbo system then 4-500 dollars is not going to keep you from purchasing one. I am shopping and I am more concerned with function than price although I am saying that with in reason. I am not rich and do have to work on a budget. So I say if you don't want to wait and don't mind doing a little fabing get a Phamspeed kit and if you don't want to do anything except bolt it on and don't mind waiting @ 2 months then order your PTK. And if neither of those fit your needs and you don't have to have A/C then get you a TTI race kit LOL! I like all the stuff I have been seeing from all the companyies gives me/us more options I just haven't seen a twin turbo system yet and we maynot need it but some just like to say hey I have Twins LOL! Good luck with your sales guys. Lets get some tubo kits on these cars and see what they can do!

all this interest and its been available for a while but not a single one has been sold?
ok so its 100 cheaper with a 6mm smaller turbo
the tti street system is nealy identical to yours underneath.. crossover under the trans and 3" downpipe under the drivers side = same ground clearance

I'm going crazy with all this talking. Both of these kits are great looking and I just want to see some actual results now. It looks like almost everyone is doing what I'm doing and building the car up correcty before adding boost. Armageddon, any idea when you'll throw yours on the dyno?

I hope your not judging underhood ugliness by mine haha... I rigged that up big time to get it running. It was like a mockup test kinda deal. All the piping is welded together, looks like it should go there
and as for looks... you can't even see the turbo assembly.. it's all about how the owner of the kit hooks the rest of the car up!
