Should I also wait? This is what I have LS2 stroked 402,LQ9 heads gutted cats, with cutouts 231/228 115 LSA 591/574.
What do you guys think? I'm new to this turbo stuff and kinda lost about the sweet spot and turbo sizes? Dalton sent me my turbos TE44's, I ordered the smaller one's (I think they were TE32's) for quicker spool time and the fact that they could support 980 HP which is way more than I will ever want or need, Dalton said they are having A hard time getting them or they can't get them? So now I'm wondering if TE44's are right for me?
Dalton and Jose what do you guys think?

I can't explain that phenomena directly, but Mike felt the stock Ti exhaust was just too restrictive and was causing a flow issue. 608rwhp through cats @ 9psi right now.

I replaced my stock Ti exhaust with Borla Stingers. Believe it or not the exhaust is much quieter with the TT systems than any other. The turbos cancel out a lot of the exhaust noise. On my old TTi setup, I had no cats, and Borlas...there was no resonance...although I did have a Bassani X pipe near the cat back...don't know if that helped out or not. I have read mixed responses about using the X pipe with Borla Stingers to get rid of resonance. All that I can tell you is that the resonance is normally loud with exhaust modifications between 1500-2200rpms under load. Mine had none and still sounded great at WOT.

I am loving my Stingers.

Thanks for the response Shinobi'sZ and diynoob to my exhaust questions. I knew TTs make the exhaust quieter, just wasn't sure if its significant. I'm looking to make my vette fast without making it loud. IMHO, fast and quiet are more refined - the days of the loud pipes are behind me now (another sign of life in the 40s vs the teen years ).

What is it that you offer anybody??? So go be off now with your small self.
As for the information it was my research, I did a search and picked out the information I thought would be useful. No harm in that, thats what a college education will teach you. What work have you ever performed on your car. The last I heard you caught it on fire. I am glad that you have the ability to read and do some research as it is a simple sign of communication. Now go read how not to burn your car to the ground, you might end up helping yourself..for which it looks like you desperately need for all your effort.
Now getting back on track with somebody that matters.
Yes the hood has been around for awhile. I thought it would be interesting for people concerned about heat. But I will let everybody know how it turns out. I talked to a guy who did a similiar setup by himself, he didn't coat the headers, and his hood did get hot. He wrapped the header with fiberglass wrap and used some turbo blankets, vented the hood. He told me everything was fine. This was after driving it around in stop and go traffic. Being that the PTK uses a merge collector, has 2000* coating, and had Turbo blankets should keep everything cool.

Information on turbocharging has been around for decades. The forum is a good place to share that information. Folks copy everything.
My twin turbo idea came from Kenny Duttweilers "Over the Top" type turbos he built for dragracing. Now PTK has taken what I did and pretty much copied the entire system, by the looks of it.
No harm done. I'm not offended when folks use my ideas, just flattered.
When Shinobi researches information, and then shares it here, interested parties benefit.

Kevin,
I was down at extreme today and noticed your car was gone. What was the final numbers? Please post pics and a dyno graph. If you want email it to me and I will host them for you.

As for the Surge tank I know it might sound funny...but it meant the Battery didn't have to get relocated to the trunk. The way the hoses are routed the tank simply pops off and can be layed over on top of the valve cover area. This will allow easy access to the battery in the stock location.
Kevin the washer tank is a cylinder in shape and looks pretty cool powered coated and all

So anyway, lets role play for a second... What if the PTK only make 550 RWHP, instead of the 600-700 it was supposed? Is all the relocating and butchering really worth it when there are other kits (TTi stage x) that can do it without all the hacking. I am sure that the parts look pretty now, but what about in 1000 miles when the coating burns off and now you have blued headers.
I’m having a TTi stage 1 getting put on in 3 weeks. Why don’t we meet in somewhere 1/2 way.... Texas maybe... and I'll bring my car and you bring yours and we'll race heads up. We can race as gentlemen or for money it really makes no difference to me. We can do it legit, or if you car cant pass tech then we can do it on the street.

I saw Kevin’s hood liner... the kit definitely had some heat issues.
