Hello all,
Keith and I have been toying around with the idea of producing a lower priced turbo kit. The kit would be more basic than our current kits and would be non-intercooled. The kit would probably produce mid 200whp levels on a 2.5L engine. We would be able to offer these kits at a lower price than our current T28 and T3T4 kits. What are your guys thoughts?
Thanks
Shawn

The air intake charge would be hotter and you will not be able to run as much boost.

I would say "not only yes, but HELL YES" The MAJOR contributing factor to the purchase of a kit from ADC is the cost (not knocking the quality, or the cost, they are remarkable, and quality.)

Hey Shawn...I think you guys are great...you were awesome when I had the piston mix-up and I have never seen the kit in person, but I have no doubt that it is the finest quality around...
but I do think a less expensive alternative would be great...mostly because we all need to be honest...we drive contours, not BMW's. I may get slammed for saying this, but we don't 'need' that kind of quality...our cars were never meant to be of the caliber that the kit is built with.
I cheer on the movement for a less expensive turbo kit.

I would like to see a price and what exactly would be in the kit. Sounds like a great idea for all the budget racers.
