I'm that way with them too, they are weird, the TGP one broke within a year of us having it, with 152,000 miles, however, our '88 Beretta GT, has the ORIGINAL one with 258,000 miles!!! :icon_eek:

[Prospeeder]

Beretta ones arnt known for breaking are they? They are smaller and the doors are lighter

[Prospeeder]

You should feel lucky you are only spending $254....

I just pulled my entire engine out, just for a $300 converter.  Just for that we have already spent ~$300 MORE on other upgrades and modifications we want to do that will make it a much nicer install, damn water lines on the thing stock are so dumb.  So its time to fix even more of them....Oh, plus another $200 or so for some gauges.  If we find an AC Condensor, it could be even more after that.  Money Pits.....FTW :laugh:

Get some pics of it, and all the hardware that comes with it if you can please.
I'm curious how the new one is designed..

[Prospeeder]

Sure, Its black primerd, and it has an optional hole for the center strap, so they must have been thinking of the TGPs, its smooth but on the back side theres a little outlined spot where the center strap would go. The mounting hardware isnt alot, its like a couple bolts and 2 threaded clips, just spares for ones that siezed probably. Also theres pictured instructions on how to install it, lol. It comes in this WAY oversized box, ill get pics tomarrow
