Those wheels look great, nice work

 

Thanks ECS! I want to get some APR diverter valves with the blue spring (as posted by a fellow member in another thread). Can you help me with that?

 

Congrats! I got mine on 4/4/2013. I am subscribed to see your progress.

 

Looking great so far...what size tires did you go with on the 22's? Also what offset did you get on the wheels? Congrats!

 

Sorry for some reason I didn't see this thread right away. We only offer one style diverter valve from APR but a few different from Forge. For more information Click Here. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM me.

 

Thanks Gophaster, Offset it 50 all around along with 285/35/22

Thanks ECS, I'll take a look

 

It's been a while since I've updated so I thought I'd post a pic of what's been keeping me from working on the CTTS! This was taken in Canon City, CO before our trip back home to MO

 

That's one sweet looking set up. What year is the truck ?

 

Thanks ECS! It's a '57 Chevy

 

Watching this build also. Just picked up a 06' TTS myself and am looking to do similar upgrades.

 

Congrats mjos! I hope you like yours as much as I do. I'm still waiting on Leistung parts to arrive...

 

Get your parts yet? I am looking to order their Mid Pipe/Intake and Exhaust next.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't received all my parts yet! I ordered at the beginning of April, and after about a month and a half I received my secondary cat bypass pipes. Then, last week I received my SR-1 muffler. I'm still waiting on my mid pipes with X-pipe and my intake. I can't install anything yet because I opted for full 3" exhaust so none of my parts will fit the existing 2.5" OEM exhaust. I wonder if I'll get everything before the end of summer...

 

After receiving the rest of my parts this past week, I started with the Leistung intake install. Although it should've probably taken about an hour, it took MUCH longer due to some issues. The main problem was that the silicone intake elbows were about 1/8" too narrow for the piping and MAF. Unfortunately, there aren't any local shops open today that have replacements.

I ended up renting an exhaust pipe expander and used it to stretch the silicone elbows. Even then, it was difficult to get the hose on the pipe and MAF. It was clear that the hose provided was too small when the clamps that came with them wouldn't fit after I had everything together. What a PITA...

Despite the issues, the results were tremendous. Like others have said on this forum, the car feels more responsive and the sound of the turbos spooling and venting is excellent! I look forward to getting the 3" exhaust on...

 

Cool! Please post pics of the 3" exhaust and fitment. Curious to see since many do not have a 3" exhaust yet.
