Do you know how much power was added with the turbo or was it 2 turbo's? How did the car perform when you had it running?

Never put my car on a dyno with the turbo so I don't. The TPC kit is single turbo system. Car ran great with the turbo. Might need to upgrade your braking system though.

Here are some more pics. Haven't had time to box up yet. Turbo was wrapped up after picture and is separate from exhaust in its own box.

 

More pics. Will be packaged when sold. Thanks for your interest. I can also give the shops number where the kit is located for verification for serious buyers.

 

It looks like the crash beam was eliminated / taken off to fit the exhaust/muffler (top). Very bad for insurance claim. If you were to get into a car accident (hypothetically speaking...) Heavily rear ended for instance. Once the insurance finds out that you eliminated the crash beam support and most likely they will, the claim will not be honored. That includes your car insurance and medical insurance. So mechanically and medically you're screwed....

Basically the engine will smash to your spine (depends on the circumstances) because the crash beam isn't there to absorb most of the impact. Which is design for.

Just a precaution.

 

You can probably contact TPC and inquire for an alternate route that can retain the crash beam... Perhaps a non=resonated pipe or straight pipe or re-routed pipe so it doesn't block the crash beam position.

Thanks for your help in trying to sell my TPC turbo kit I really appreciate the safety facts!!

 

My intention is nothing but good concern. You can easily sell this kit for your asking price, I'm with you on that one. But definitely contact TPC about repositioning the exhaust so the crash beam can remain and save a life or two.

I hope you don't think I'm bashing on your sale. Just safety concerns that's all.

 

is the S/C in yet? is there a thread on it? love the S/C's...

 

Bump for a FOR SALE THREAD. Start another thread for supercharger or safety concerns please.

 

In an effort to assist with your sale, I did contact TPC Racing and the kit is transferable to a 997, however, the exhaust piping and intercooler piping will require modification. Their workload is such that they're not able to handle it at this time, although they said an experience machinist could handle this job. Obviously an ECU flash is required and I'm sure they can handle that. The crash bar with their current kits are not retained.

Good luck with the sale - great price.

 

Thanks gonz996.

 

Much obliged. Good luck with the sale - great price and value!

 

Maybe this will ease some of these saftey freaks

Thanks trenddy996. How about price reduction to $5000.

 

New Price $4500. It is a used system not new therefore it does have some scratches and the turbo is dull, the stainless is colored from being hot, and it is not clean like when it originally arrived. For the price you can't beat it. All you need are some good brakes to stop you and some sway bars to keep you in the curves. ;-)
