I don't think a dealership doing a TT install is a good idea.

+1 you would be better to bring it to a race shop with better knowledge and it should also be cheaper

yes.. prehaps you guys are right... I've talked to them and they said they can do it, yet there is no warranty on the service!!!! So maybe a specialized shop might be a little safer?

Since you're new (and entertained the idea of having the dealer install your TT), my best advise is to make use of the search button and spend countless hrs reading threads. It'll save you a lot of money and time in the long run. It's better to spend time to educate yourself than to empty your wallet and still look stupid.

well the only reason I entertained the thought of having a dealership install is because I work for the dealership.... but anyhow that Idea is now out the window.

I live outside Providence, Rhode Island.

I see you live up this way... make sure you have a winter car if you're going to get a G and TT it.

Take it to an experienced shop. The dealership should not be an option to install a TT especially when there is no warranty on the work IMO.

buy one with a TT already IMO. It will be way cheaper and less time without the car.

I'm quite aware of the cost it will take to Twin turbo the G. I work for the dealership. So I only pay $500 over the list price of a vehicle... With the extra couple grand i'll be saving, I plan on throwing that into a TT.. or Single Turbo.. but.. Why get single when you can get a Twin.

But.. to be honest, I Think i'ma hold off on the Twin Turbo Idea until maybe next spring. That way I can get comfortable with the G before I decide to go along with the TT setup. And yes I do plan on buying a winter beater...as RWD isn't a great vehicle to manuver here during the New England winters.

On another note.. I REALLY want a turbocharged vehicle.. I had my dreams set on a EVO 8 or 9 for the last couple of years.... But I recently discorverd the G35... Although this may be a silly question to ask on this forum, but do you guys think I might possible be better off with the EVO?... or Stick with the G?
