Getting a Greddy TT in 2 weeks

Hey, wazzup everyone, my close homie purchased a G-TT kit for his coupe but then totalled the car before installing it and he is selling it to me for $2,000 ( brand new with everything except intercooler). Now, after searching the forums i will purchase a UTEC, and greddy intercooler kit. I plan on taking my car to XS Engineering for install and tune because i've personally know them for years and i know there work is great. What i wanna know is how much extra am i gonna spend getting this coupe turbo kit to fit on my automatic sedan. I really dont have the money to be installing this kit anyway, but for $2k for a turbo kit...i couldn't pass it up

There are a couple sedans here running Greddy TT kits. So, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to do.

Install will run anywhere from $2000-2500 (maybe more depending on what kind of extra fabrication is needed) plus another $300-500 for the tune. Intercooler is around $1k and you can pickup a used UTEC for around $700.

Don't forget the extra safety stuff, like wideband (~$350), gauges (~$200-1000), boost controller (~$300-600), etc. It adds up fast.

if you dont spend the cash on some of those key components you risk even more expenses like a new engine because your last one fried. twin turbo might be bolt on but it aint no intake you can put on an ignore. Sweet deal you got though if i were you in the same situation i'd probably have done the same thing.


what you can do though is sell it and buy a supercharger and be able to afford all the other things you need.

I had to have one of my HF Cats modified a little and my A/C lines had to be pushed over a bit. The rest was just a matter of installing as you would in a coupe.

Of course you couldn't pass it up-- there are a lot of stolen Greddy kits that float around here. I'm 95% sure the one I have was stolen from a shop..


Didn't know that going into it but... im not legally liable, and i dont really know that for sure.
