Bruce @ TTM

I was thinking about going with the RTR pulley but someone well "Bruce" from TTM advised me to rethink it. He wasn't let's say 100% on this new pulley and to put mildly suggested I was fine where I was with pulleys.

A few members on here went on a tangent on the prices TTM charges for the things he develops. But I have never seen any failures from his products. This not an advertising ad for him just a great thank you. Some times you have to look back at the ones that save your A$$ and let them know what they have done.

Keep telling it like it is and......
THANK YOU BRUCE.

Bruce is a great guy to deal with. He even sent me a TTM pen with my scoops!

Bruce is one of the "good guys" for sure, but ends up taking a lot of cheap shots from people who don't respect what he's accomplished and what he knows.

Mark my words: One of these days you'll see a post about an E55 that burned to the ground because a poorly welded or modified "TTM copycat fuel loop" pissed fuel at high pressure onto a hot engine......

I'll never be rich enough to afford the costs of unproven parts or cheap knock-offs.

Bruce, we managed to get Big Bruce on the horn yesterday. All it took was one phone call, left a message, a 2 minute wait then we got the call back, on a SUNDAY! Bruce stands by everything he does and he is there to support YOU and not just his product. Bruce without a doubt is the FKN MAN!!

Bruce has helped me on several occasions!!!! No CEL codes with my headers, and gave me advice on what to look for as far as frame damages when my car was rear ended. I'm risk adverse when modding my car, since I cant afford a new engine, etc if i buy a part that fails or not backed by the manufacturer.

Bruce is 100% legit and a standup guy. I worked with him on both the scoops group buy and I'd trust him with anything E55 related.

1000X recommended.

Had a half hour conversation this weeked about everyhting in general. He knows what he is talking about and this is his passion and living and not just some weekend hobby!

Greg said it best about the "copycat" fuel rails! Buyer beaware and good luck with that!
It is always nice to buy from somone or someplace that actually has a building, phone, address and business insurance!

Like I said, stick with the TTMs, Kleemanns, Eurochargeds, and Renntechs of the world!

I too have kudos for the man, although my boy Jason does all my physical work on my sled, Bruce helped me with my combo from the get go. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and I commend him big time for that, heck I have even said stupid things over the phone to him, only to be laughed at then yelled at to get me back inline.

His knowledge supersedes most on about this platform, and it shows, he built the fastest e55 in the world non nitrous with a very simple combo, namely lowpro's car. I have the utmost respect for Brendon and Bruce, they are legit.

Thanks for my new pulleys baws!!!!! I hope to see you at Timmayfest.

I've had positive experiences with Bruce. He overnighted a rail and injectors for me and was on-call on a weekend to get something sorted out.

"RIGHT ON " emoving , Bruce is the "REAL DEAL" a performance man and true car enthusiast . He knows what he's talking about and steers people down the right path when comes to modding their cars . He builds real performance parts that actually work and improve our 55 platforms. I agree with you on these other tuners Kleemann , TTM"S, Eurocharged, and Renntechs

Key words! He will have a 1 hour convrsation with you, give you advice and you don't have to buy a thing from him. Not that that is his goal, hes just a good dude. I have to same about Jerry and Jake at EC.

And he has YOUR best interest in his intentions when you want to make changes to your MB.

It's like Allstate "your in good hands" when you work with Bruce.

Not only is he truly a great guy, he really does care about the people around him and especially his clients. I've been modding my car over the last year with Bruce. The best part is that I've been hands on with over 90% of the work. No shortcuts, no re-using nuts and bolts that are worn or stripped, just the right job every time. He takes a lot of calls from a lot of people everyday. He works a lot of hours to make sure he helps them out along with completing the projects he has in his shop. He does this not just to make a living, it's truly a desire to move our cars and mods forward to help us out, all of us. We all have a choice about who will complete our mods and where we will buy from. I can personally say, like many, Bruce's products and workmanship have spoken for themselves over the past year. Not only with my car but with many others.

We just completed a swap of my 180mm pulley to a 185mm lightweight aluminum pulley yesterday....................all I can say is "amazing". It is straight and true and the engine spools right up. 2 lbs. less weight on my crank, more boost and a tune to match it!! Great job once again TTM.

Thank you too Jeremy at OE Tuning............

Thanks as always!!

Yeah, I have an asp aluminum 195mm on the way from TTM, not that I can use it, but it will be nice to look at for now until I get my girl fixed.

Certain people have left a great impression on me just by talking to them on the phone , Cory from Kleemann comes to mind right away .. and Bruce from TTM whom I had the pleasure of speaking to on the phone yesterday for the first time . I havent had the chance to work with him yet , but just through our discussion , and without him pushing to sell me anything I feel confident that I am in the right hands . Maybe its because he is a fellow New Yorker , even though I moved to Miami LOL .. but I know it is not just that . The time he took on the phone to discuss issues with me , telling me what to watch out for ..suggesting solutions... is courtesy at its best . all I can say , is that more people should learn from Bruce ... and even though I am in a different state now , I cant wait to collaborate with Bruce . Cheers Max

Bruce is the real deal, he is always there to help you out with even the smallest question. His passion and dedication for what he does far surpasses more then anyone I have ever worked with on these cars. You definatly are in good hands when working with him. He has done both a motor and transmisson swap on my car along with countless other projects and it all works flawlessly, as it should! Keep up the good work...
