Hey kdo' depending on money/cost of the in Aus it is something i am seriously looking at. Also everything i have read about GTM here and other forums, you have great ability to allow the kit to grow in HP terms, when if you upgrade other parts of the engine etc..

As for Aussie, i cant believe Wiki says it's offensive LOL. That really cracks me up. I mean it really just is shortening "Australian" when you think of it.

I realise your going to do a write for this, but can i ask quickly what sort of TQ numbers it made. Keep up the great work

your gonna be the first Aussie here to go twin turbo...(gut feeling)

I can't wait for a price point on this thing.

I know I have a question and I am guessing many others are also interested in the answer as well. I would love to have a forced induction system (especially since I am at 5500 ft. elevation and am already loosing over 20% from that alone) but to use Ron Popeil’s term, I would like to “set it and forget it”. I would like the highest gains that are safe for the engine. I would not like to have the lifespan of the engine reduced by any significant amount. I do not want to have to take it to a tuner after the initial setup and install and initial tune. Basically I would like the overall reliability to remain while performance was greatly improved. Is this possible? Am I expecting too much? If I wanted 375+ rwhp, should I have bought a car that came that way from the factory? I would love to hear from GTM and Stillen about these questions. Thanks for your time and attention!

Do you really need to post the same question three times in the top three threads?

(And 'yes', I have to post my same question three times to make a point)

I don't think you are expecting too much, That is the way it should be and that is why we offer our GTM turn key so you can "set it and forget it " as you said .

-Our GTM Turn key solution whether TT or SC does not require a retune (maf tuning )

-Our engine management solution is done via flashing the factory ecu so basically you are getting the factory driveability just with a lot more power

Plus We are working on a good platform from the start, all those things will deliver what you are looking for and more ...All you have to do is just buy the GTM kit

How far off is this kit from a "shadetree" mechanic install?

I mean, I'm not some whiz-bang mechanic, but, I might be able to DIY...I guess it depends on if the engine and transmission has to be dropped...(I'm sure it does, the more I think about it...)

Also, sorry if I missed it, what's the price (PM if by policy) - lastly, will the 7AT handle this?

Motor and trans do not need to come out for the install. Every tech has different techniques, and tools that can make their own method quicker for installation on things like this, so you will see different ways of doing it from different shops. I do know first hand that the engine does not need to be removed for the installation on this, in fact my magic 8 ball tells me it was never even removed for the development of the TT kit.

kannibul · 09-19-2009, 11:58 AM

Wow, those are QUICK in the dyno run department. Just shows the huge amount of power being delivered - lol.

I think I want. My wallet not want.

Flip side, I have a 7AT, think it'll hande it without popping?

G37Sam · 09-19-2009, 09:01 PM

Sam that thing sounds insane!

Is that the GTM Exhaust? I could've sworn I spotted some CF in the mufflers haha

westpak · 09-19-2009, 09:57 PM
