now you are saying that after the kit has been built its $12,000.
I guess this is why people build something, test it, and THEN market it at a price point, not the other way around.
horrible business model.

I was wondering when he quoted a price of $5500 to start with. Honestly, I started to worry about the price on my used kit even though I felt it was a real good deal. I guess my turbo kit still isn't such a bad deal at $2700.(sure beats $12,000) It doesn't include the piggy back but I would recommend using a stand alone anyway.
At least I know that the kinks are worked out of mine. I think with the turbo being used 300hp is overestimating but there is also a big difference between wheel horsepower and crank hp. Mine made 242whp with the stock pistons and the GT28RS turbo (using a piggy back at the time). I am also pretty sure that my manifold will out flow the log manifold used in this kit. With the GT2871R like mine has now, you should be able to get closer to the original 300hp figure with stock compression but I still think that you would be closer to 285-290whp even with the bigger turbo.
Originally I have to say that $5500 seemed like a pretty good deal but $12,000 is pricey and especially since the log manifold reminds me a lot of the Hass design.
