It could be scary Chris. You sure you are up to the critics once you release the pics??

But show the pics!! I'm as anxious as everyone and applaud your efforts. But respond to your naysayers, please.

Naysayers? Who is saying "Nay?" The component design is finished. It's simply a matter of tuning. Just a little longer smile

Sign up for the national meet, you might see it in person.

I can't promise that, but why not meet the man who is making it possible.

Yeah like there is a ton of markup to begin with. Get real.

$2000 won't get you much more than an intercooler kit. maybee an intercooler kit and a water spray system for the cooler......

Turbo kits (properly engineered kits that is) for any vehicle will set you back around $4000.... so $4500 is not an unreasonable price. Look at the flyin miata turbo kits for example... these are great kits and they cost around $4000. www.dlralt.com

But like they mentioned, the markup is ridiculous, why not make them cheaper and sell more. I am sure you would make more $$ off of 100 rather than 50. Even if they dropped it 2k they would still be making their profit.
