Fellow Miami-er! Read the sig...

PM me any questions you have. My car's in Tampa, but I live in the Hammocks in S. Kendall. My install is done in about a week. My installer has yet to have encountered a problem and has only nice things to say about the PTK kit.

You keep recommending the TTI race kit, for obvious reasons. Do you think losing the a/c is a big deal? I live in Florida, and barely use it, but there are still times i use it, and i like to know that it's there. Especially with other people in the car?

its a personal choice. i am too much of a hp junkie so i never ran mine anyways. i use being hot as an excuse to roll down the windows or take down the t tops. i drive a car to get out. if i want a/c ill sit inside the house and drive fast cars for much less money on computer games.

Lol. He just said he wanted to keep everything on the car. Including the a/c.

Right now i think it's eather the tti street kit or the high flo kit. The hi-flo looks like it's got alot more potential for less money. But you better get em fast before the prices go up. Although i think all of their preorder spots have been filled.

where else could you relocate the A/C to? do they have a relocation kit for the f-bods? my main reason i wanting the TTI kit over the hi-flo, (but still havnt finalized) is that i like how the tube goes into the TB from where the air box used to go, you could "cover" it to look like you didnt have turbo plumbing everywhere, that and the turbo sits nice and low out of everyones view when you pop up the hood at night....
