No really it isn't just the tubo that decides what power you wll be able to make there are a number of factors so I am trying to be realistic instead of saying I am goin to make 1500rwhp its just not realistic.

Is this Textralia triple disk something out now or is it an one off sort of thing?

Looks interesting. Keep us updated and get some more pictures.

The feel is like stock on the leg. I could go with a few other clutches that will hold the power, but I was looking for the drivability factor since I drive this on the street primaraly. JM- Brother I am working 7-12's and I have been working on this just about every night finished the drivers side last night and ran all my oil feed lines and water cooling lines for the turbos. Am about to bolt it up the K-member and start assyembling the accessories and wiring tonight. I still have to wait on the clutch till next week according to Jarrod at Textrailia.

Awesome man! Jarrod and Peter are awesome vendors. Working on becoming a dealer of there products. It takes forever for the clutches to come to the US then they have to do there machining and balancing. It will be worth it Jeff! Ill make a special trip to see you car up and running when it is done. Im finally caught up on all my work here Have a happy new year and best wishes to your family. Ive been working 8 days striaght 12's So I know what you mean

Hey I don't mean to throw a wrench into your operation but I suggest removing those exhaust studs and going with stock bolts. I have a CAS TT setup and Z28 and i cannot pull or insert the manifolds with the studs installed. The problem is when the heads expand/contract it could make the bolts too tight to turn with that tiny allen wrench. This was a MF'r of a time when i had to repair a cracked manifold and i had to remove the manifold. If you can remove and install the manifolds with the bolts in the head then you have nothing to worry about but I don't see you having enough room. Just a little bit of preventive maintenance incase you run into some cracking down the line.

BTW this is an awesome looking kit which reminds me much of my CAS kit with many tweaks and refinements to make it the kit it should have been. I wish you the best of luck with it.

I wish this would have been available last year when i put my car together. I guess i will just have to make due with what i have when i return to the states. I remember when I was one of the few with an actual RUNNING TT car of the CAS style but now it seems everyone and their mothers is on the bandwagon. I still have my glory!

I'll address that is it comes to that I appreciate the heads up though. I had already though about that so I am prepared for what ever might come at me. I just didn't get much penitration with the stock bolts with the gaskets while it may have been fine I just needed a little more and I know I could have got some longer bolts I just was wanting to try the studs for a change Antiseiz (sp?)is your friend.
