Re: My TT build thread

The rest of the turbo kit and my plenum arrive last week. Hopefully We can start putting the kit on Monday night after work.

This is the first set of turbos we have seen that have Hellion engraved on them instead of Turbonetics. Looks pretty sweet!

Cold side

Hot side.

I'm getting excited!

Haha, I had Bogarts that fit over the Cobra brakes fine. I sold them though as I plan to race it the same way I drive it on the street. The Enkei's are only 15#'s anyway! haha

i feel skinnies are easier to control at higher speeds rather than a wide wheel that wants to follow every groove in the road.

In a straight line, I never noticed a difference between the two.

Re: My TT build thread

Got to work on it for a few hours last night. Started putting the turbo kit on. Hung the intercooler, then the turbos.

Here they are after I put the Grill and headlights back in.

I should be able to work on it all day Sunday, so hopefully I will make some good progress. I'll take my real camera so I can get some better pics also.
