also the pipe is not universal ,the one they make is only for the T3 turbo it comes with, the TC's kit has no option for a different turbo unless you call them up and order it, at which point a different pipe is whipped up and included in the kit.
its not just treadstone...Dezods manifold only fits their down pipe which in turn only fits their S-pipe...
bastiches...

bastiches...-stares at my turbo.
i must have some frankenturbo. i have the round 4 bolt exhaust. which is what treadstone offers...thats why i was begging them.
I said i might be wrong and what would be the point of up grading to a larger turbo if the kit still comes with a down pipe with a 2.25" flange mister smart guy?or has treadstone not relayed that info to you yet...

Hey AEN,
What did you end up doing about a downpipe? Oh and it looks like you cut out your faux vents on teh bumber, are you using Treadstones pipe kit? That is one SICK turbo! SKEET SKEET!!

treadstone can go zpi themselves.
im having my car flatbedded to a car shop and they will do my damn custom downpipe that i'm sure will fit.
no treadstone pipe kit. i got ebay pipes and i'm doing it that way, so far so good. sort of having trouble with the hot side but that will be fixed i hope.
don't have any 3 inch piping though so i can't do the damn intake.

Yeah, our TT kits came with slim line fans, which is where aen got the idea...but he needs to find the fans.
If I knew you needed htem still, I would have asked Todd to send some along with the vacuum block he sent for you...jackass!
lookin good, though. Let me know if you need any help, and I'll send my 3 year old son over.

The manifold isn't as clean as pictured by Treadstone!
Oh, and is it me or is that turbo as big as my uncle's F-250's turbocharger??? Are you going to make a drag race tC? Also, I noticed the tC isn't drivable yet, what "backup" car do you use right now?
