Unhappy Need help with identifying TTi kit

I just got a TTi street T76 kit, or that is what it is supposed to be. Found some things I don't think are right. Would like to get some other opinions/answers from guys with the kit(RyanK, Stoleit I know of).


-the crossover is 2" diameter and one piece
-the downpipe directly off the turbo is 2.5" diameter

See pics for more details.



Hoses/clamps etc.

Turbo







DP and log (note DP touches log)




log primary diameter



downpipe


downpipe diameter directly off turbo








downpipe diameter at back of the pipe

Looks like a really old TTi kit to me. There have been a few updates since that kit was made. That FMIC conversion was not done very well either...

RyanK informed me that TTi measured the log diameters based on OD, not ID. So, the log primaries measure 1 7/8" OD, which I am guessing is close enough to 2".

Crossover is definitely the older 2.25" design, and the DP is definitely 2.5", not 3.

Here is my 76 kit:





















Note: Those injectors didn't come with the kit, and that kit is for an automatic.

The 2 lines on the left are power steering lines that are needed. The center looks like vacuum lines and The right side looks like the oil supply and return hoses.

Man you got a complete kit for $3100 shipped. -With upgraded parts! and even the ceramic coated 6.0 liter manifold.


I know about this deal and he (Matt) really bent over backwards giving you tons of photos before and answering tons of pms. He could've sold that kit 10 times over, but you were the 1st to respond.

Hell the turbo itself is $1700.

I hope you're not jumping on Matt, because he's a stand up guy in my book. ~Joshua

Not jumping on Matt; he was good to deal with and helped a lot. In fact you will notice I never mentioned where I got the kit or who it came from.

However, the kit is not the complete and current T76 kit, which is what was advertised. I do think I should get the stuff that was described in the ad. The ad specifically said the kit had a 3" downpipe and that everything was included. I spoke with TTi and sent pics to them, Bob said that was not their downpipe

I also don't think I got the vacuum/PCV lines, oil line or the power steering lines. I will verify when I get home.

I believe he gave me what was on his car, and I am not saying anybody tried to shaft me.

I do think a couple items need explained:
-why is the DP I got different than StoleIt's, and why is it not 3" diameter? Matt said he put a cutout on the car; I would guess the downpipe was changed to accomadate the cutout. It is clear that somebody welded that flange on the DP.
-why is the crossover the older, smaller design?

Perhaps he though it was a TTi kit he was selling, but maybe it was a Q_M_P kit? They are similar right?

He said he bought it new from TTi.

TTi has upgraded its street kit alot through the years. I would email TTi with this thread or something and ask them if it looks fishy.

Already did. They said the DP has definitely been changed, or it is not theirs at all. They said the crossover is the older design.

Well TTi sells their parts individually, so if you want a new DP just order it from them. If you want an auto cross over I got one laying around I'll get rid of, but it wont work with an T56. But if you want to go TH400 or 4L60E it would fit like a glove! It took them about 2 weeks to get me the new cross over for my kit.
