sorry, but how is it different from the first TT?

probably more rwhp at the end, but does it have bigger turbos?

also, JON@AAM mentioned about traction issue with the first setup even at the third gear - how is this remedied?

very impressed..........overall......

just might persuade myself to take a risk and a TT myself.......

i guess all depends on the final price of the TT setup....

Just out of curiosity, how much is this going to cost in total? (I may be in the market soon if all goes well).

I was fortunate to take the tour at AAM when I was getting my exhaust, HFCs and sways installed and see both the first and second TT cars. Great work being done at Altered and I'm sure just the first of many more to come!
