depends. if you plan on going FI soon then i would stop buying any parts. you'll replace any intakes and LTH/TPs.

i hope to go FI within 6 months or so.. my friends are telling me to do more research on a SC kit instead of a TT kit. kinda torn at the moment. do i keep the parts off? not really worried about putting the parts on more so then doing any unnecessary modifications to the car that i cant revert.

SS looking at the sophia project now but is there any thoughts you can add to this? Thanks.

you have bad friends then lol

SC is super limited to what power levels you can reach. then again i dont know your end goals for power.

also intakes and exhaust are easy mods to take back off and whatnot.

Lolz.. perhaps i do.. they made an argument about reliability.. not the most knowledgeable about my car so i turned to the forums to get all the info.. lol

as far as the intakes installation goes.. just dont want to cut the intake air duct if i didnt have to.

TT is reliable at lower boost levels. i've seen some run their cars at 10psi for 30k miles plus with no issues. so it's possible lol

they arent really ducts just holes in the rad support. i just shaved mine down for the intakes to slide through.

just look at phunk build, his daily made 671 whp, he out 60k on that and its still running today. Most ppl bash the crap out of the car when they boost, or have shop do shot install and tune. Choose your shop and tuner wisely.

There are far more members with popped motors from super chargers than turbos.
