Thanks! Any idea how much the TTM fuel rail and injectors cost? Just an estimate would be handy along with estimaged install price.
I know the TB is around $2K before install so that's a bit out of my mod/price range at the moment.
Thanks again.

I can get the LSD from EC for around $1K and a few shops around here I've asked said the install will take about 5 hours of labor for $100 per hour.
EC was running a special back in August for $898!![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Seriously though nobody things I should go with the LSD given I have some good HP/TQ (500/600) at the wheels now? Do they not make much difference then?

There is nothing wrong with getting a the rail and injectors. But I would say anyone that has their car dyno tuned in the summer and runs it hard in the winter MUST have the rail for protection. Most of the number 8 failures are in the winter if you have winter temperatures then you need the rail.

I do appreciate the advice here guys, seriously I'm an idiot with this sort of thing, but smart enough to realize this (most idiots do not realize they are in fact idiots)

Skratch is selling his 80mm tb for $275. You would need the part that connects to the supercharger and then adapt to the airbox. You'd sure get a nice bump in power and you would feel it up top for sure.
Everyone is going 82s now but the 80s deliver a nice bang for the buck and no nightmare codes.
Just my 2 cents bro.
Good luck on the future mods.
