1) Easy installation and removal
2) Linear power increase (although you can get this with the right turbos)
3) No clearance issues below the car
4) No oil return issues

Thanks

I never even thought about the clearance issues with these turbos.. that skid plate does sit pretty low. I wonder how much that would be scraping if you were lowered 1.5"

Can you not choose different S/C's to get different power curves as well?

I would think the easy of the IPF S/C kit in the Cali market would be critical with our damm smog issues.

Being able to remove this kit during a Saturday, pass smog, then reinstall for be a great bonus.

Yes, but there limited options for our displacement engines. You can swap the pulley though. That's a little more labor intensive and will probably hurt gas mileage more than just adjusting boost on a turbo.

Top mount SCs will give you that low end torque "hit" that a centrifugal SC does not give you, but the centrifugal IPF SC setup is really the only option we have for these cars.

There are no top mount SC setups with a low enough profile to clear the stock hood. If there was, I think it could potentially be a big hit for these V6s.

When running a centri, the nature of how it works is that power rises linear with the rpms. Sure you can up the boost to make more power, but as you up the boost, then you run into more issues and most of the power gain will still be on the upper end of the rpm range.

To be honest, though I can't afford it right now, the slow buildup of boost on the centri's makes them more attractive. The TT kits go over the M6 transmission torque rating by a mile, but the Centri kits only barely do. Lots of top end boost mean they essentially have a flat torque curve.

I been running my TT kit since 2012 and it's a DD with the stock transmission and its still alive. And I race the car almost daily with plenty of videos to show how hard I run her. Few have seen the videos because the nature of the races. But I've beat some big time cars. Some have had transmission problems some haven't. Treat her good with high end oils and the GTO retro fit tank and your M6 will be fine.

Any developments on a TT LLT?

[Fabberge]

no, i didn't get 5 people to commit

[Can't_C_Me]

Damn shame! All mouth now action around here! Sending you a pm Fabberge

By "No action"? You mean send some dude my car and $7k and hope 4 others do the same and then cross my fingers the HP tune is the answer? Easy for you to say. I know you have to pay to play,but, there other ways to pay and play.(I can pay cash for a ZL1 or C7 today) I'd like it to be my V6,but I'm not desperate. Commitment? they had a planned prototype but no tune. Now supposedly have a tune and they can't get one car for a prototype? Maybe they aren't committed due to lack of LFX kit sales. I have been reading these threads for years, so I may be a bit jaded from the whole RX, etc. debacle

i offered my services to design a kit, i also listed the terms under which i'll do it. seems like there is no interest in it based on the response i got.
