My RED fits without TGV deletes. I just had to take the rear sensor on the turbo side off and sand the rounded end of it flat. I did this with a belt sander. Put the sensor back on plugged it up and I was done.

damn....so i take it a green should fit??

so god damn confusing man.

***JDM-STI*** · 02-23-2006, 09:09 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Easily

Pictures to come tomorrow.

***VSGTS14*** · 02-23-2006, 09:15 PM

or buy the perrin inlet pipe and tgv's used from adamblitzer for a 3" green.

Lots of love being tossed your way.....but i gotta see your car run and rattle this thing WTHOUT any touching issues. I'm not convinced the 1/8" solves the problem.

then again, i could just be in FP Green w/ TGV's denial?!

This setup is going to be huge....if it works. Best of luck bro. I'm pulling for you.

lol you gotta chillax bro. We'll check out the pix when they're up. Should be interesting. I know how you feel. For me it's this or a Fatboy sz49. Lucky for me, i'm in no hurry.

Sounds like Nick's got an itch that needs scratched.

To be honest, if everything works out, I'd go with the APS inlet. Zero collapse worries then.

Blah,
As much clearance as I have, I don't see how I will have much to worry about. I just don't see the gap closing. The turbo TQ's with the motor so the gap should remain steady.

***bah14*** · 02-23-2006, 09:39 PM

i actually agree. But i like to be a skeptic. Makes it more of a joy when things "work out".

LOL. I'm keeping my fingures crossed anyway.

I guess my question is: Why be so concerned with fitment of the stock TGV's if you have to remove the entire manifold to install the APS unit anyways. It makes sense to do the TGV's while the manifold is off. You already spent thousands of dollars to upgrade the turbo, inlet pipe and intercooler, so what's another $200 to do the TGV deletes??? I consider it money well spent for the added air-flow.
