Did anyone notice much of a change in weight distribution? I am thinking of doing this in about a year, but not at the cost of handling.

Um, the only difference in handling i can feel is the beatiful grab of the limited slip keeping my tires from loosing traction...MMMM

Cost me more than $5000, s5 t2 engine, e6k, boost controller, FJO wideband, greddy fmic, full -6an fuel, 550/1600cc injectors, msd, full exhaust, blitz bov, blitz turbo timer, walbro, basically everything on RETeds' site minus single turbo. Which I need to install over spring break. I have an estimated 300 hp. Totally different beast, had a 1991 Coupe with about 150 rwhp just about doubled my power. Still have stock na non-lsd driveline (someday). Love saying I have a 91 Turbo 2 Oh and um I get my liscense in march. Have drivin it to school since september. Still needs tuning!

I put a TII in my vert. just getting it finished now,
the cost with for everything I put into it including the
rebuild parts, and hood, etc was about 1600.00 Canadian
I am happy so far, and it make the vert a little more fun to drive.
I am not going for more than stock HP. all I wanted
was a little more power to make the vert move, the
n/a in the vert sux!
