Arrow Twin Turbo install on my C6 Vert **PICS**

Hey boys,

I installed a TTi twin turbo Kit this week along with an electronic boost controller. It should net me about 1150HP at the motor at 20psi.


I decided on the grey ice coating to match the cars engine compartment and wheel wells better. I went with the the bigger turbos and upgraded inter-cooler (USA made, customer service is great and parts are a few day's away if I ever need any).

I was leaving the shop after finishing the install. With the roll of the throttle on the video I reached 16.5 psi at 3000rpms and my computer pulled 10* of timing because I still had my Procharger spark map/tune which was for much less boost at that RPM level. I need to do some tuning tomorrow to adjust for higher boost levels at low rpms.
I wish HP Tuners had the 2.5 bar OS out already. My 2.5 bar MAP sensor is ready to go and no O.S. to use it

The billet build will continue over the Winter with pics. I decided to take it a bit further and raise the bar to 2200 HP to take advantage of the Billet blocks potential. Of course this one will not be going in my vert or any vette for that matter. Stay tuned.

The car is a bit quieter going though the Turbos. I might add a little CO2 or NOS for it's cooling effect.

I will be installing the TTi kits in my shop and I wanted to tweak and iron out any issues that I may encounter. You always need to do more than is stated in the instructions and wanted to know what I was getting into so there are no surprises on the next one.
To do the install you need a lot of patience and people around you that don't mind cussing & swearing from time to time.
My hands look like I reached in a garbage disposal .They are cut up from all the tight places I had to reach and work around.
I found ways to make the next installation much much easier.

When it comes to ALL of these premade kits S/C or TT, everything is always 1/16" - 1/8" of an inch off .There is no way around it because car GM manuf tolerances, aftermarket heads etc.

I modded my Z06 fascia and trim peices so they deflect the air right up through the inter cooler. On the ends I made some aluminum sheet metal deflectors.

The Turbo oil feed lines were easily attached to my Oil Pressure relocation unit so I didn't have to remove the intake/valley cover to drill and tap the valley cover for a new fitting. (pics).
The distance between the radiator/condenser and the inter cooler under the car is 5-6 inches so cooling should not be an issue. I am getting a mechanical air pump to evacuate the crank case. That's what the open AN hose is you see by the radiator. I am also going to mod the black top radiator cover this week ar make a new one. Pics soon...


Here are the pics of the TTi install with the video link below.
More videos soon when it's all dialed in using onboard DVR.
This vid was taken with a passenger held camcorder .
It's about a 5mb download and edited to a minute long.

Thanks for the comps Guys.

Good eye Pat.
I am using Street Street stuff as my shop for now until I get things up and running. It's really nice because I can work anytime I want and have a Dyno behind my stall.
I was there until 3am finishing the TT install . I sold my Supercharger and will be putting in in a 2007 A6 C6 along with a LS402 I just finished building for a customer in Milwaukee.

If you are free next week, bring Becky and lets get together for a car show.

C6dude,

Will you ever take that car to a 1/4 track and see what she can do on the strip?

It's a vert and I need to install a roll bar in it for safety/frame rigidity. Then I can do a hard launch with slicks to get the best possible ET's.My hang up at the moment is I need one made that will not interfere with my electric top.
I will still go though, do a soft launch and look at the MPH for performance.

I can`t wait to see those numbers when you go, i am betting your MPH will be near 150.

Im interested to hear what your impression is of the turbos vs the blower..

I know that HKS boost controller lets you map boost a few different ways, are you taking advantage of it? I was thinking about buying that EBC, has some really nice features..
