GTM SC stage 1 vs GTM MHI TT vs FI TT

Presto · 02-15-2014, 03:03 PM

Just FYI if your going with any tt kit in dubai, the turbos are easy to spot and you will fail inspection irrespective of fast intentions or gtm.
Also when buying a used SC, do note that kit has had 2 other owners atleast (maybe more) and it maybe missing many parts. Price looks cheap but you may end up spending quite a bit especially if parts are missing you need to contact gtm and get it which could take a couple of years at this rate.

I think thats what I'm gonna do, after watching your twin SC videos it really made want to stick to the supercharger.

What supporting mods do you recommend besides a clutch and flywheel.

Thanks for the advice

Look at an exhaust & oil cooler, at least a 34 row for Dubai.

Stock clutch will be okay for a stage one SC. If you do buy a new one, getting a flywheel will make the supercharger more efficient. And replace the CSC with a Zspeed CSC while you're down there.

You could also order a light weight stock size crank pulley from NST to increase efficiency and response.

No need to remove stock catalytic converters, the kit prefers some backpressure. You should have a healthy 430ish whp with these mods and a custom tune. And it will not cost an arm and a leg.

The statement of SC being DD while turbo cant is totally wrong, SC is always on Boost while Turbo only goes on boost after you put some more throttle, So whos the DD now?

As i said Turbo is the game changer.

Go for Boosted performance . Ask Sasha to powder coat your pipes and intercooler if you're looking for stealth.

One other thing. Who the hell quoted you 26k dollars for your turbo kit shipped? wtf?

G37, to correct you on the SC, the rotrex unit by GTM is not always in boost because it is a centrifugal unit. Roots style is the system that is instantly in boost and building pressure, where the rotrex is more 'turbo' in building pressure at around 2500-3000.

On the topic of what the OP should do, is he needs to really uncover more details on this used SC kit and what is missing and what other cost will need to be done. I have seen a few guys pick up used kits (TT or SC) and they are missing parts or damaged parts and it is more costly to get the parts replaced in the end because of the individual price purchase. Where a new product gets a little discount because you are buying it all together.

On your notion of wanting a turbo, I would suggest go that route, if you really want that turbo feel & power then I would go that route.

To add to the debate, this is the BP Performance kit, no turbo showing.

You've left off the GTM Garrett kit, which is more of a competitor to the FI kit. It should be available immediate/y (as close to immediately as GTM gets).

Theres only 3 real FI solutions for this platform, they are;

Greddy TT Kit

GTM TT kit

FI TT kit

the rest of them are just noise.

I beg to differ. Boosted Performance makes a nice product.

oh yeah the BP kit is stealthy until the inspector bends over and looks under the car and wants to know why there is 30ft of tubing and a turbo hanging down

No kit will ever sneak past inspection. If u think it will u are a fool the only way is to find the right inspector and lubricate his pockets a little

Trust me it can pass because I've seen many. There's cameras all over the place and you're not allowed to enter the test bay. "Lubrication" is not possible

usually the "lubrication" happens off site at another time. you find a guy who knows a guy who hooks up with a number you call to meet a guy you pay him and then he tells you when to bring your car in, and then the turbos magically aren't found. Here you get a recomendation, that person calls the guy to tell him your legit, then you go meet him hand him your paperwork and pay and it just happens magically and you get your new papers in the mail. talk to some of the guys in a local car club that have done it, make friends with them and they will hook you up the penalties are so big that a lot of times it takes a while to actually get them to tell you. also sometimes it helps to go to a small town place that dealers with people who can't afford to bring their cars up to spec also.
