hahaha

Quit day dreaming about your future s2k build. It's nothing more than a pipe dream anyway!

I'm only being a dick to you cuz you were a dick to someone else in a different thread.

Since most people that turbo their car ARE NOT concerned with reliabilty. (sarcasm) I'm glad you and your friend are the rare exception and want reliability. In your words... If you don't want your car to "blow up all day" pretend you never heard the term "3mm headgasket"!

You don't need the damn gasket for 400hp. If these gaskets fall into the wrong hands motors can "blow up all day". So don't use it.



How many ducks do you have in a row now? Just wondering

 

I just installed the IP TCT in my all stock car.

I had previously replaced my TCT twice with the OEM part but it only lasted a few months.

I have been having other issues with the car so I have not had a chance to drive it too much but the problem is definitely gone.

As for what's diffierent about the IP TCT, I did not fully disassemble it so I cannot say if they have upgraded the springs, the piston looks the same. However, I could see that the oil inlet port is much bigger but that is not the only change. There is another change that is hard to describe and is definitely not a DIY job but probably required some machining.

 

I hope it works as well on mine

 

I traded in the S a few months ago but just wanted to post an update for anyone else interested in the inline pro TCT, assuming they are still selling it.

I had no issues with the inline pro TCT, my car was a daily driver and I drove it in summer and new england winter for a year (~15k miles) with this new TCT. No more ticking or any other funny sounds, no other issues whatsoever.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who's got a ticking OEM TCT. I believe that replacing an ticking OEM TCT with another OEM TCT is just a temporary fix but the IP TCT is a permanent solution.

 

i just bout my s and i am hearing that stupid tct tick like everyone else it seems. in the next two days i will probably have the inline pro tct put in. the tuner i use recommends it with no adverse effects. i will keep you guys updated, and yes i know this threads a little old

 

The times I have heard my car running I had no ticking like before the IP TCT unit was installed.

 

Still waiting on this part and for it yo get installed. Really hoping this product fixes the tick, and that's what the problem is. Its exactly what it sounds like to me

 

yea i thought that too, but cylinder 2 was f@#ked in the end, hope yours is just the tct

 

I received my InlinePro

OEM left
InlinePro right

the InlinePro have less travel, so it couldn't be lock with the pin as the OEM one

 

Awesome. Finally a side-by-side comparison
