I don't think it's a TTi option, but if you're interested shoot me an email and I'll try to track down some info for you. The pipe is inexpensive, looks nice, works great when spraying meth, and was one third the cost of a BBK bridge. To me it was a no brainer.

with the clean setup's and the can't wait part
will the tube type air bridge create more psi/quicker boost then the stock type air bridge ? this is important to me, when I spoke with a specialist by the name of DR.PHIL I was diagnose with a case of (lackaboostaphobia) from my current system, and he suggested that I go bb's and .63AR housings this will support my 650 hp goal and my fear of any lag . from my understanding the bb's and the .63ar's will be a little twitchie tell I get use to it, or relearn how to use my right foot
. will the tube type air bridge make it that much twichier ? cause I don't want to over do it 
it's just a question/or somthing i thought about when I read your post. I don't even have the thing yet thanks gary

You won't notice a drivability or boost difference between a tube air bridge and the BBK air bridge pictured above. The shape/bend of both bridges is inconsequential when you think about the shaping and bending the air has to go to before it even hits the air bridge.

The tube is not a TTi option.
The tube is one of the roadrebel tweeks done to the kit for the non-stock installations. It makes it a nice clean setup, especially when using an alky kit, etc.
It also requires modification of the radiator cradle, which requires some fabrication skills and a welder.
If you are interested contact either Phil or I and if he is not interested in making the modifications for you, I can, unless you have the ability to fabricate it yourself, in which case we can give you some direction on what is necessary.

As for the difficulty... it is time consuming, not difficult. There is nothing that is really really hard with it. For example.. when doing a blower kit, pinning the crank for me a huge pain. There is nothing like that with this kit. Everything fits well, but it is tight.
I have only done it on a lift, so it is much easier than doing it on the floor but it can and has been done.
Hope that helps.

YEs it was helpful
the fact of how tight it must be concerns me. I like the PTK kit the best but with regard to how much heat turbo's produce I can see that kit destroying every hood I put on my car unless I blanket my entire engine bay...Does the TTi kit produce alot of excess heat? and if so can it be contained

The only heat wrap I have anywhere on my car is over the starter and solenoid wires and drive it all of the time when it well over 95 with 90%+ humidity. I have no issues. I don't have any of the heat wrap on the exhaust that comes with the kit either.. and I don't recommend using it.

As for the comments about building boost. I have to produce lag to get it. What I mean is I have to put my car in 4th and roll from 40mph to see any lag and even then hold on because what lag there is is short lived. People I cruise around in 5th gear around town because the car builds boost so fast. On my setup I am at 9 to 10lbs by 2500rpm at part throttle. Thats over 650rwhp.

Do you have any pics of the modifications necessary to the Rad Cradle to be able to use 3.5" or 4" charge tubing instead of a "Cobra head" style airbridge.
Thanks,
