Does that thing actually have a turbo intalled? Isn't that system twin turbo and the engine bay looks clean. I would pay that much for the car if all details could be confirmed and the engine scoped and tested.
Well, maybe not.

It looks totally stock when you open up the hood. In my car, the only thing you will see indicating a TT package is this:




Of course, you won't see the dog (who checks my oil now and then as in the picture) but you get the idea. Now If you look down into the engine compartment, you will see the Turbos and IC. But you'll see everything as clear as day if you get it up on rack.

LPE's website lists the Stage II kit for $39,995.
I guess it worked out better for you the way you did yours.
LPE is the ultimate setup.

I hope one day I will be there too.

I think TTi is coming along. The product still needs more owners and time on the market IMO but it seems like it has potential.

The TTi kit has more than potential I have been running this kit for about a
year now and love it, have had no major problems except tires and clutch I
will be putting sliks and skinnys on very soon to help with the tire bakeoff!!

I think there is a misconception that performance parts make cars more valuable, when the opposite is often the case. The red steering wheel is just a bit much IMHO. Other then the superfluous red interior (the red around the shifter looks cool, but that's about it) the car is beautiful. As nice a car as I'm sure it is I would think getting anywhere near 100K is going to be a difficult sell.

Cheers,

Mark
