Hey Gary, what SC kit did you have before switching the the TT setup? I'm curious because you said it was very noisy.

I had a Imagine Kit, on my you tube page there is a dyno with the sc on and a few driving videos.

I did not notice how noisy it was until it was off.b

My old sc is for sale by JAAY he posted an ad here and on ebay.

Cool The other twin turbo 2.5

Hi Gary,

Nice posting.
Unfortunately I haven't succeeded in dynoing mine yet.
I do share your opinion on the TT performance.
Mine also has PS2's and I don't have the heart yet to drop the clutch etc. Besides, the tires grip like hell. Nice thing is that the TT's do break the tires loose!

I should post something on youtube .

Do you have the cone type airfilter?

I'm using a K&N replacement filter on mine.

I also plan to install the hose from my AOS to intake. This, regarding a little bit of leakage of oil. Marc from Turbowerx recommended me this.

I am using the EVO intake with cone air filter.


Get that dyno done I want to see what kind of power you are getting out of it.

Thanks for the reply Gary, so for just about the same price as the SC, you could get a turbo setup that produces more power with less noise. Sounds like the turbo route is the way to go.

Thanks for replying, and thanks for sharing your first hand experience with the two kits. I have bookmarked their site so when I'm ready look into FI for my box.
