Buy Billman's modified TCT--he guarantees it for life--and he's a legendary s2000 mechanic.

I got it from him for $260 shipped AND when I returned my old (bad) TCT to him via mail, he refunded $115.

Car drives/sounds better. TCT noise is gone completely.

If you compare apples to apples, it's basically the same price .

I'd like to have some idea what Inlinepro does to theirs.

Do you have a link to Billman's TCT? This isn't just the sandblasted one, correct?

I think I got the same deal (with core exchange) from Billman. I don't remember a specific thread, I just called/PM'd him. He can explain over the phone how it is different. It's more than just a sand blasting. Don't quote me on this, but I think he modifies the hole that inlet/outlet oil, and possibly something else.
My car has been dead silent from that "playing card in bicycle spokes".

Call Billman, and ask his opinion of the OEM TCT, and ask him about his lifetime warranty, and about what he does specifically to modify the TCT he sells.

An oem one will just go bad again eventually.

I'm 10 minutes from inlinepro.150 installed with lifetime guarantee from Tom. I guess its the same as 290...
