I haven't seen any companies making top mount TT kits but I'm sure ADM can hook you up with a custom one.

Hennessey does those. Its real nice but real pricey. For me anyways

The HPE800 is a top mount kit, but apparently the HPE1000 isn't...

Try changing the plugs in that car.

Why top mount? Just for looks or what?

Can't you get away without an additional oil pump (and the plumbing that goes with it) with the top mounts?

Unreal · 08-04-2013, 10:07 AM

Yes, but I rather deal with an oil pump than putting a lot of hot parts where they aren't designed to go. If you use a good oil pump there should be no issue. I know the AGP kit uses the same pump that is OEM on porsches and other cars. Plus it is fed will filtered oil and has its own filter before the pump so it is double filtered. As far as pluming that goes to it, there really isn't any more plumbing. Just runs inline with the return lines. You need return line either way.

As much as I like just about everything about turbo systems, I don't like the complexity. Effeciency out the wazoo is attractive for sure. No belt load on the motor to power the blower. That's ALL good

Cramming all that into an already crowded engine compartment has me hesitant to pull the trigger on a turbo system. I enjoy driving the hell out of my toys too much to fool with anything less than a mostly trouble free system.

I know the newer systems are far better than the ones I'm familiar with. There's still a lot going on vs a blower though. Sure, the blower isn't totally trouble free either. If my power goals were well north of 750 wheel, I'd look a little harder at a twin t system. Maybe the oiless turbos will prove to be dead nuts reliable. That would inch me a little closer to pulling the trigger on a twin rig. For now, I'll wait and watch

Pfft if you can afford Hennessey stuff you just buy a new car when it needs plugs

I agree with Motorhead here, if your goals are sub 750 get the whipple. If you're a loon like me and looking to push 1200 wheel pick out some turbos and let em rip.

That's why most the kits don't put it in the engine bay. My car car just looks like it has a cold air intake with a blow off valve. I understand the driving and trouble free system part but in the defense of turbos I've put 25,000+ miles on my car with the IPS turbo kit installed which has been on the car for 2 years now without any issues.

We can custom build you one. Feel free to give us a call.

Blk_SS · 08-09-2013, 01:08 PM

reason I ask is because I have a TT kit on my car already and I hate the oil pump that come with the car, one went out on me and blew the seal on the turbo, that why Im searching the market for a top TT kit, one less thing I have to worry about when im running the car
