Others have run OVER 600Rwhp on the stock internals prior to me with no probs . If its the same for me , then I just get added to that list . Otherwise opinions on this subject will not based on fact , but just speculation . When considering the amount of TT Corvettes on the road , how many have actually gone boom ?
Other than that I guess we'll see . And maybe your buddy will see my taillights .

I checked out the TTi kit I believe - Stage X....here was what the kit came with
Stage X CG TTI Twin Turbo kit includes the following:
(2) Turbonetics T3/T4 turbos with external wastegates, (2) cast steel manifolds ceramic coated, (1) large custom centermount intercooler, (2) T304 stainless steel ceramic coated down pipes, (1) custom blow off valve, all necessary tubing, hoses, accessories and hardware. Kit requires fuel uprades (injectors/ fuel pump), not included in kit. Custom programming/tuning necessary. Stage X kit is capable of 700+ hp.
First thing that threw me off was the Turbonetics t3/t4s.....Ive seen plenty of these turbos blow oil seals plenty of times, almost like it was their job....Why dont they include Garrets? Im glad that they have coated manifolds along with stainless steel downpipes.....Ive seen some companies put out mild steel pieces that rust over time
Suprisingly this kit doesnt include fuel upgrades or any computer chip/programming/etc.....Put it this way....
Turbonetics t3/t4 turbo ball bearing - 1200-1400 a piece - Figure 2500.00
Intercooler - no more than 5-600.00
Downpipe - 3-400.00 - two of them - 800.00
blow off valve - 150.00
Tubing/etc - 800.00 at MOST
Thats about 5,000 right there...Now I excluded the exhaust manifolds since those are a real custom job, but I cant see the pair of them going for anymore than 1500.00.....So for 6500.00 you basically have your kit at market price....Considering theyre a dealer, they prob pick all of this up for 5000.00-5500.00.......
I could see this kit costing 7-8000.00 but anymore is ridiculous

Just curious, but if you're this critical of the pricing of TTi's kit, what are your feelings on LPE's kits, which run between 19-45k?
