Looks like that turbo is giving your engine a big hug! Now wait to see what it gives you when you beat on her a bit, lol!

Haha, you guys crack me up.

Regarding price, it's a custom one-off build...this isn't a poorly pieced together kit. Just because it's only one turbo, don't let the power delivery/price fool you. I could have done an off the shelf kit for a comparable price, but I like being original and I like the power delivery of a single turbo. Regarding dyno numbers, I don't want to speculate BUT I don't see why this kit shouldn't make some good power

Shawn, your welds cease to amaze me! If I didn't love the look of the HKS exhaust, I'd easily ask you to fab me up an exhaust, too.

If you go this route and it looks anything like the Powerhouse Amuse, I will buy it too! I really want to do a Y pipe with my TT z. It seems to be working out great for the GTR plus a Y pipe gives the best sound in my op.

This looks to be an interesting build. How much boost are you planning on this setup? excuse me if I missed it.

hey, build is looking good... whoever is fabricating the exhaust manifold, pipes, housing, etc is doing a hell of a job. I know it's a pain in the beginning putting everything together, but it will pay off at the end.... trust me. What psi are you going to be running?

As far as tuning, you're going to the right place. I never got to show you my TT z, but it was crazyyyy fast, ask Chris lol.

P.S. You might want to consider cutting up your front bumper so that the turbo can get some air? one of those bumper scoops? because that turbo is being blocked completely...
