I'm not here to try to bash GTM, but since there are many out there with GTM kits I wonder how do we go about getting replacement parts made for our cars or something that fits the existing kit.
I don't mind the existing Stage II as it stands, but maybe at some point I'll either overhaul the existings turbos or get new ones. So new ones might require a new manifold, which will probably be cracked by the time I take the turbos off. Plus, I'd like to get the 3" down pipes, too. Right now it's not financially feasible, but it's something I'd like to do down the road. |

Any you heard of this company? Maybe we can send them the existing manifolds to improve the design and have them cast us new ones.

I wish I could be wrong though. |
I wonder if they can use the existing manifolds to make the mold. It'll be a start. They can even get a hold of the turbos to test fit. Then test fit on a car to make sure it bolts on properly.

It should not be much of an issue these days you scan things, 3d print test for fitment then get it molded and made!!

Yep...i backward engineer things like that my self. |
I called treadstone a few years back and mentioned the 370z. They said if they had a test car, they would consider it if there was interest.

This is very good to know. If GTM doesn't pull through anymore with orders I might have to consider a different route: new or overhauled turbos, improved manifolds, 3" downpipes, external wastegates, etc., while re-using the existing kit. If this is something Treadstone can do, then we GTM owners will have a path.
So maybe for starters someone can send in their cracked manifolds if they still have them. Unfortunately, I can't really balance a house (living alone) and car hobby at the moment. As much as I toy with the idea of looking for a serious buyer, I have a difficult time letting go as well. [sigh] |
Just dropped my car off last week at aam competion in maryland for their new twin turbo setup. So far its been a great experience. Emailed back and fourth with max for about 3 weeks before i pulled the trigger. Max has answered all my questions. Gave me a tour of the shop. They have all their own cnc machines and pipe benders and weld everything in house. Pretty much everything is made there. Will keep you guys posted

any GTM TT people who may need parts in the future i'd say keep AAM and FI TT kits and parts in mind. both are great. |
Maybe you could buy the F.I. Manifolds and make those work with a little fabrication work?
