i'm not sure if this was already posted but i've been searching everywhere for a grounding kit for the tc or possibly a DIY? does anybody here have one installed and if its worth it? i've heard it gives you better throttle response and what not and it's pretty quick and easy to do. any help would be apreciated!

 

I think Ground Fusion makes one... not sure of the "actual" benefit though. Seems like something a lot of people would feel in their head but wouldn't really be there. At least for throttle response type of stuff. They are supposed to stabilize your electrical system though... so I've read.

 

ya thats what i've read too, but i wanted to know if anybody had a grounding kit and how they liked it or if it was a complete waste of time and money, thanks though. i'm not expecting much, but a little bump in throttle repsonse would be nice and i have an A/T and i heard it provides moother shifting as well.

 

^Don't you mean feel in their butts? As in, buttdyno. =p

Yeah, I think grounding kits are pretty much a waste of cash on the tC.

 

waste of money! i did it for 15 bucks, and 1.5 hours of clean install. it's a complete waste of time. money i can make back, but time is forever lost! i do notice a very very slight increase in response, but its not enough to make a significant difference.

 

eh...i feel that since it is a newer car, this wouldn't be necessary. although it may improve your electronics/sound system slightly.

 

This has been talked about b4 do a search. There is also a diy to make your own. It is proven to work a little bit but nothing noticable. Not worth it in my opinion.

 

I don't think it's been proven in a measurable way at all. Also, "throttle response" is a great phrase because you can't test it and it's nearly impossible to even describe.

 

well i'm running a system in my car too and thats why i wanted to ask cause i heard it makes it sounds clearer and louder..

 

It does help your system noticeably. No it's not worth the time and money if you're not running one. Randode.com has one but the price is steep as is all their stuff. Here's another one from 365motorwerks. And here's my favorite, the cheapest and it says tC on it.

 

that distribution block looks nice hehehe. but its freaking huge!
