But seriously I agree with Fran, the AGP install looks straight forward, but it is more work than just installing LTs. I think even I could do it maybe over two to three days. The estimates I get are two days. The centrifugal install looks a bit trickier to me but less time consuming.

With the extra cost, weight, and complexity of the TT setup, and now the cat purchase and fab, I am leaning centrifugal. I still like the turbo idea better. I can sell my LTs and cats to make up part of the difference. And I still do like the turbo idea better.

But for the price of just the AGP TT kit I can have a centrifugal with injectors installed and tuned while I stay home and smoke my pipe.


Ill figure something out next week for you and see if we can work something out.

Fran, call Kevin@AGP. He will set you up with a killer deal on a 1st kit and get setup as a dealer if you want. It is seriously a nice setup.

I noticed on their facebook page the custom TT badges that match SS on the back are done.

Last I checked a few months ago, pricing was pretty much even between the supercharger kits and the AGP kit. In fact, for someone coming out of a 100% stock car, the AGP kit comes out cheaper, because you DO NOT buy headers and cats. That's 1-2 G notes saved right there, if one adds labour to install on the bill .

No cai, no pulleys, no cam, no upgraded injectors, etc to make 700-800rwhp. Only thing the kit is missing would be fuel pumps to support that, otherwise just crank the boost up.

Gents, let me chime in for a second. I'm in the midst of installing an AGP TT kit in my garage, with the car on jackstands, and I've done everything (I mean absolutely everything) so far by myself. The AGP kit really is no harder than installing LT headers, but it takes MUCH MORE time. There are many more steps, that while they are no more difficult, they are added steps. That said, I'm pretty much in love with this kit so far. It all fits really well, and aside from having to get under the car, then back out, then back under many times to make sure I'm doing it all correctly, it's not complicated. I've even called AGP once so far with a question, took about 45 seconds, and I was back to work. Kit = good, customer service = good. I'm stoked about where I'm gonna be when it's done.

All that said, best of luck with your choices, there are many available, and the community here will help with anything you need if they can.

Great input and contact me if you need any help or questions. At least I can hand you wrenches!

I've been telling them for awhile that RPM needs to get hooked up for NE.

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it! I'm also installing a Fore Innovations fuel system at the same time, so it's gonna take me a bit to get it all finished.
