I think the vantage solution is better. At least we have a better chance of NOT catching on fire!!

not catching on fire is overrated

but wow that looks like it'll be a monster on the street!

 

Lots of misinformations on that site It's actually 530 rwhp which is a little over 600 hp at 6 psi. And 580rwhp on race gas. This turbos set up are being placed in the factory heat shielded areas. Similar setup to hundreds of Heffner TT Gallardos that's running around the streets without a single fire issues.
Here's more hi-res pictures.

Ben at Wheels Boutique has one. I saw it when I was there getting my wheels put on...I think he just got it the day before I was there. It would be nice to compare the two.

 

any issues with heat buildup at the back of the car.... Those turbos have to add a lot of heat..

 

Damn, how much would a little rear end fender bender suck?

 

Could be if you didn't already have an R8. If you did, and you wanted more power, the TT application is a tempting one!

 

I have had a ride on Ben's R8TT unbelievable. I have had brand new R8 for a month. I didn't really like it but with the turbo kit, it's totally different animal

 

Do you know if Ben is running pump gas or race gas?
