Turbo Terri Mods

[jmi8]

I'd like to do some slight mods to my TT, probably edit, CAI and Cat back exhaust and would like to hear from anyone that's "been there, done that"

Cheers!

Speak to Simon from Xtreame, he is XtremeF6 on here and has done a lot with his wifes TT.

We are leaving our stock.

Based on your other post, guess you can say "been there done that" yourself now.

HA! I've merely scraped the surface Paulie0735.. Jim from Tunehouse installed the custom tune which has basically transformed the car but I have many further enhancements to go.

Sounds like you've had a good go on your TT.

I'd love to see an up to date list of mods that guys have done and results posted up on the forum too....?

I really can't picture any other AWD "family" wagon on the road that would come close to the TTG with a custom tune in terms of sheer thrills and value for money.. Everybody I've taken for a ride is absolutely blown away by it..

Tell me, would you purchase a FPV TTG if/when it comes out?

As Paulie has said in other threads, try removing the "bung" in the centre muffler before spending alot of moolah on an exhaust, they are a great standard item. Twin 2 1/4 to 3" out the back!!!!

Also try the F6 or extra CAI with a filter then the CAPA flash.

13 second Territory!!!!!

Would I purchase an FPV Terry....... hummmm, knowing what I know now .....no, but if one had been available when I bought mine than yeah I probably would have. I really can't see anything from FPV that would entice me that way now. Bit like would I buy a phooon or a XR6T, that's an easy one, the XR6T and spend the dif on mods. I'm a bit more of a luxury kinda man these days so a Fairmont Ghia with the Turbo 6 would really get the juices flowing. As for the mods and terry's, I think it will be a while before we see a lot of guys spending money on these, it won't be until they start hitting the 2nd hand market that they get the full treatment. Lots of Falcons because they are cheap but the TT is still a little on the exy side and not exactly the weapon of choice for the hoon patrol

What I do know is that there is a lot of after market rubbish around that does squat in the way of performance enhancement; they are preying on people who don’t know any better. I was quoted $5k+ to get mine into the mid 13’s.

They wanted to fit a S/wank/S CAI, I got the good info from Nick and did the mod on my air-box myself for free.

They wanted to fit a S/wank/S throttle body, I passed!! (total waste of money)

They wanted to fit a cat back exhaust, when what it really needs is the turbo / wastegate pipe and perhaps a cat replacement, (they were just guessing, they didn’t have a clue what size the stock system was but were adamant that I needed to spend 2.5k on a (insert popular aftermarket brand here) cat back exhaust because quote; “that’s what they need” The truth is they just need the plug knocked out of the muffler, the rest is better than anything I have seen aftermarket for the terry

They talked about injectors, fuel pumps, valve springs blah, blah pharken .....blah!!!!!!!!!!

The bottom line is that the so called experts (the big guys) are just (insert common name for criminal here). Mine is 0.20 seconds off running a 12, I’m running less than 10lbs of boost and so far I’ve spent less than $2k, it still looks stock (my preference) it still drives the same as it did when I drove it home from the dealer (my wife drives the car daily and hasn’t said boo about it being any different to drive) and it’s actually more economical. Can’t be much wrong with that. The trick is to wade through all the crap and sort the truth from the BS. I’m pretty confident that with a separated turbo / wastegate pipe and perhaps a bigger capacity cat, than a new tune to suit the exhaust mods I’ll be running 12’s with one hand on the wheel and one arm out the window……

No burnouts, no wankups just select D and go (gone).

Sorry for the long post guys…… actually no! I’m not sorry, some things just need to be said!!
