Although I keep an eye on this forum, but don't recall any others. I thought IPS was supposed to get one out, but not yet.

[QUOTE=RFZ;1579583795]
The principal behind turbo is to take advantage of the energy that is released from the engine. You notice how all manufactures, install the turbo as close to the engine as possible for getting the most out of that energy. Secondly, you want the least amount of traveling distance from the Turbo back to manifold for quick response. STS breaks both principles.
I've driven a Z06 with STS and driven Z06 with TTiX and you notice the response right off the bat. If you look at the BMW or MB designs, they're designed to be very close to the engine for those two principles.
Hope this helps.

IPS is putting their kit on my C6 as I type this. I believe it's only in house still. They took the TTiX off the car if you're looking for one cheap.

Don't forget the other plumbing required like running oil all the way to the rear of the car and then back. The chance of that being perfect is next to none.

I think you'll be very happy with the result.

I had my motor built to a 441ci LS7 which is way too large for the TTiX kit. Even with what forum vendors are doing with modifying the manifolds to fit the larger turbos it's still not enough for what I'm looking for.
IPS is building me a kit with their GT3585r turbo setup which is rated well over 1000rwhp which is what I'm going for.
Yes I'm looking to unload a TTiX kit hot and cold parts with one of the small 62/62 turbos. IPS says the other turbo would need to be rebuilt or replaced. I'll let the kit go for what the hot & cold pieces cost and throw in the turbos just in case. PM me if you're interested. The kit is at IPS if you have any questions about it.
