It has no bids, which I find particularly interesting since is seems like a very reasonably priced TT GTS...

Sounds loaded but most don't want a no-name TT setup, this is where going with a leading Vendor like Heffner makes a difference between average seeling price and a great selling price

I e-mailed the seller inquiring info on the turbo MFG & installer. Owner stated he purchashed & installed himself??
The kit is from Turbotrix.com. Here's the site with photos
including detailed images of the installation.

That would be Mark French's TT GTS that they built (he works at..) at TurboTrix down off of 514. I've seen the car in person and it's a nice piece. The setup is smaller than other TT setups I've seen on vipers. I'm not sure if it's a rear mount turbo system but when he opened the hood I was looking for a set of turbo's but found none. Other than that it's a great looking car.

anyone else thinks it could be an issue that the lowest point on the car is the oil feed lines for the turbos?

Amazing what these guys did, but some of the stuff doesnt look like it was well thought out.

wowwww those turbos look dangerously low to the ground!!! look at this...

You must be registered for see images

That looks like serious trouble, especially on any NJ roads.

I agree...and to have NO type of air filtration on turbos that low where the road debris is looks as if you're TRYING to **** it all in like a vaccum cleaner.

I'm sure it was during the build process that they took those photos. Finished photos would be a good idea and probably show filter on the turbos now. But I agree its a bad location in general, especially since that area is UNCOVERED and would allow water and dirt to be in close procimity to the filters and turbos... Bad design I say, BUT im not an expert on this at all.

Also, I still think its crazy to have the oil lines being the lowest point on the car. Scrap a speed bump and its your oil lines taking the hit, not the frame

The oil feed and return lines seem to run under the frame. What an aweful way to do it. You are driving through a parking lot, go over a speed bump that rips a hole in the return line. As you drive down the street, your engine in bleeding to death. Hopefully you notice in time.

The turbo clearance looks fine, same height as the bottom of the frame rail. The oil lines could definately been run better tho...unless you put a lift on it

The one pictured is a rear tire...

He'll make more money if he returns the car back to stock. That TT System looks like a terrific liability and price killer!
