Victor - I'm going down this week to help finish things up. However, I doubt the car will be track ready for a few more weeks. Want to fly down with me in about 3 weeks?

Forgot to ask in my last post, but where are you guys going to mount the turbos?? The engine bay is a bit tight, especially for Twins!

--Thanks.

Yes, $5199.00 will be the package price. The kit, as of now, will be a complete bolt on package that will not require cutting.

We are almost done guys...I'll be sure to take some pictures as we progress through the installation this weekend. I'll be spending a few days in Houston to get in Ericks way.....I mean help Erick out.

The turbos are only a fraction of the price. It's all the "little" things that are adding up.

What kind of boost do you expect you'll be running for both applications?

C32, SRT6, SLK - The kit will include an electronic boost controller. You should have no problems boosting up to 22 PSI at the track and 15 PSI for daily driving. For once, we will be able to control boost with ease....no more winter nightmares!

C320 - If the car has stock internals, then a low boost application is required. The kit will be limited (wastegate) at around 6-7 PSI.

Update!

There will be 5 of us working on the TT project all weekend...

Erick
Mark - Our master welder
Erick's friend - heard he was a boost head that's good with a wrench
A secret forum member that wishes to remain nameless
myself

Hopefully, we can at least get the car started this weekend and begin tuning it over the next week or two.

Turbos are in hand! I will post up some pictures very soon!

Make sure you have a towel to drool on!

:drool: Will it be 5199 for both applications? (assuming the NA guys will have smaller turbos and may require more plumbing to make it work)

The smaller turbos will save you some money....also, you will not need the C320 manifold.

Nice. The development is being done on a C32, yes? If so, where are the turbo's going to be placed? Things may fit fine on the C32 but on the SLK, things are considerably tighter.

Yes, the development is being done on the C32.

The installs will be different for the SLK and SRT, but we are aiming for the same price point.

We will have pics ready this weekend...stay tuned.

I am willing to fly with you in the 3 week time as long as I have advance notice...my wife works for united airlines and even though we are divorcing I might be able to get cheaper standby tickets...I hope you and Erick have little issues installing the product and hope you have a wonderful time...
