That kit is a PTK knockoff. "Freshly Installed Kit"... indeed that car is Nick Yoskin's a fellow Corvette Forum member who hangs out in C5 Forced Induction. The kit on the car is a PTK kit... not the knockoff. Read the Terms and Conditions... they offer no technical support... and you cannot pick the kit up personally, it must be shipped to you. No telephone contact... only email. What you see is supposably what you get. As stated in the auction... there is no silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps. No air filters. No oil supply and drain lines. No fuel parts. Also what they don't tell you is there are no coil relocation brackets and custom made spark plug wires. No alternator relocation bracket. No relocated coolant reservoir. No replacment power steering reservoir. No brake reservoir shielding. No exhaust housing blanket. No custom "Stinger" hood or matching insulation to assist in venting the broiling temps. "...the most complete twin turbo kit available for the C5 Corvettes, including the Z06 models." Yea... right. Also, the dyno sheet looks like one of Kevin Sheridan's (aka Shinobi's Z) early runs also from the Corvette Forum. This company shows no proof of a running example using their product... only snagging other people's accomplishments and calling them there own. You can get all of this for $3500. Auction is certainly setup for the impulse buyer... I see so many red flags its not even funny.
