Ebay Intercooler - 90 Recieved

_________________________________________________________
The management

NICE!
But I think you should mension how rediculously massive your turbo is! You could get a smaller one and save another $150 or so.

I think my TT kit came to about $3200, and after gauges, injectors, management and coating it went up to about $5000.

My kit has a smaller turbo, but an EL manifold, as well as 2.5" downpipe and S-pipe, all heat coated black, along with the manifold and hot side of the turbo heat coated.
Also, all my charge pipes were powder coated black and I got a vacuume block (you should get one!)

But all that other stuff I got (except the downpipe which you still need) is just additional stuff, and you save almost $2000 from what I spent!

I really think you can save some money going custom, it just takes more time and effort to get it all put together.

Good writeup, aen!

I still think you should call treadstone again about getting their downpipe, cause that's crap.
And if they don't I'd send it back and get the dezod mani/downpipe combo.

I'd call treadstone if I were you. They seem to help out better on the phone. Good luck bro.

i found injectors for 32$ a piece.. there the same ones that threadstone offers. there meant for the ford lightning svt's and apparently there direct drop in. i even found the injectors clips that convert the denso plug to a ev1 plug..

that means no cutting of your oem injector clips.

these are bosch injectors and there the exact same ones the threadstone kit comes with. I have the link if anyone wants it,,
