I'll join in

Even though I have the BGC for the TTA I would go in on a CAS unit for it instead. That is the unit I originally wanted, but the wait time and poor customer service always keeps me on edge. I make my living selling service by moving freight accross the country.If the customer can't rely on you, you could be out of business no matter how good your product is. There is ALWAYS some one or business out there with the same goods.

Well I'm definitely in! The regular price that was quoted to me on friday is $899.00 for the V4R. They need a 50% deposit since these are made to order.

I just don't want this GP to run for weeks and months! I'd like to get my order in ASAP. If we can get around 10 ready and commited buyers, maybe we could make this happen.

I will contact CAS and see if they are interested in giving a group discount.

I just sent CAS an e-mail. I should hear something back tomorrow. I will also find out how long it takes to make and ship the units! I would really like to have it by summer!

I will let you know what CAS offers us tomorrow

Thumbs up

OK everybody, here's the deal;

If we can get just 5 or more orders, Tony is offering a 15% discount ( that's a savings of $134.85) and faster delivery of 4 weeks instead of about 6 weeks!

I think it's a great deal and I'm definitely going for it! If anyone else is serious and ready to purchase please e-mail tony at
tonyd@chargedair.com for deposit info, and also e-mail me so I can keep track of how many orders we have.

All we need is 4 more to get this deal! Any takers?

Thanks, Vic

This is for the CAS V4R stock location intercooler! They are custom built to fit the TTA with no ground clearance issues according to Tony at CAS!

Tony has always responded to all of my e-mails in a timely fashion! If you have any questions send him a note!

Thanks, Vic

Original price $899.00 minus $134.85 (15%) = $764.15

Sending my 50% deposit tomorrow

How long do we have?

How long will this group purchase be available? That's a little steep, but it might not be too hard to hide from the wife if I have time to save.

This GP is something we threw together last minute. I was planning on buying this intercooler regardless! Tony was kind enough to offer a discount of $135.00 if we could get just 5 or more orders together.

I would like to have at least 5 orders submitted to CAS by the end of the month so we can have the intercoolers by mid June. If this doesn't happen, I will ask CAS to build mine anyway at regular price! I really didn't want this to turn into one of those never ending GP's! How long will CAS extend this offer? It's totally up to Tony.

I only helped arranged this GP for those that need or want this unit by summer and an opportunity to save quite a bit off the regular price!

If anyone is interested in this intercooler, please step up so we can get this moving ASAP!

Thanks, Vic

This is the first I heard of this!!! There are people here running the CAS TTA intercooler. I'm sure someone would have posted difficulties by now.

Are you sure you didn't wind up with a GN unit????? The GN CAS unit will not fit the TTA and was informed of this by Tony at CAS! The stock GN IC is interchangeable with the TTA, The CAS units are not!

I would like to hear from some owners of the TTA CAS V4R! Any problems?

First of all, Its not a V4R that for sure won't fit. It has the same style necks as a V4R BUICK Intercooler to give more ground clearance but its a V4.

It does fit, It is tight and very close to the oil filter and the radiator hose layes across one of the necks. But it does fit.

Good Luck guys.. I have been waiting since January for my Front Mount. Should be here in a few weeks. I did get my Radiator in about a months time.
