hey, if sub $4000 is what the customer wants to git 'er done for, and you want the upgraded pulley, the 200TQ, FMIC, tune, license, and in my opinion, silly to not get the cable...
really .
..and IF someone else is givin it to ya with all that, then theres not much to look at here is there, cost shall be the determining factor
unless the vortech vendors come down to that for this kit they will loose a few sales to the price first shopper. Surely they have considered this..their bet is there will be more solution first buyers than price first shoppers, atleast I suspect thats the aim for this kit's target buyer
its not
equal product, so comparing two kits, each 200tq, one costing $3800 and the other $4800, or $4400, whatever, water to air and air to air are
totally different after 6 laps, dont take my word for it,tho, you can find out first hand if you prefer,
like the turbo kits out on the track, they can be made into great systems, with additional costs, as well. heat management, soak, and subsequent power loss, increased propensity to detonate, and higher chances of head damage would be, in my opinion, the turn off for those systems to me, cost aside. heat is a worse force to reckon with than boost, or a lil SC drag.
so I really dont think you can compare any turbo kit at this pricepoint-we've all seen some of the heat challenges there and thats no show stopper but it does cost $$$$ done right
its great to consider the other 'cheaper SC' options on paper while they have yet to manifest themselves in the flesh..you may find once they magically appear, like the turbos, there may be added costs to get the cooling required to run such a setup, eek out the reliability you seek, or plan for hidden skeletons hopefully wont pop out wiggling, or other things we're not counting on
also imho Perrin>FA20.but eithers fine.
there may be a kit giving you the numbers you want to see on a graph, but youre buying more than a graph, arent you?
(no comparison)
the VORTECH kit is PROVEN
heat friendly, or I wouldnt take it, regardless of cost
has a big fmic, bigger reputation, and the biggest warranty-unlimited miles
OODLES of upgradabilty for he who wants more TQ
and thats more than alot of other options
its never gonna be the cheaper option tho, so if $ per HP or TQ is the factor, you may need to look elsewhere
