Tell your buddy to STFU.

Cuz your buddy dont know ****.

the fittings are all different. Just because both of them are in the 13B family does NOT mean that they all have the same size.

Is doable, but not *drop and play* kind of doable. You have to remove ALOT of stuff. too many unknowns. do it ONLY if you know what you're doing and have DEEP pockets.

ummmm, yeah..... (insert Office space pic)

3rd Gen TT will not fit the 8 without major modifications + fuel management. Even then, it would be a waste.
Check the 7 forums, lots of people hated the TT setup and opted for 1 larger turbo intead.

Ha ha I'd like to see that thing idle and run.

Any bets on how long it will take to blow up?

Plug and play noway.
