I need three thanks before I post the pics

spitfire481 · 04-13-2013, 10:14 PM

I've seen inside a vortech way too many times. 3 v9 Blower seal failures in 1.5 years in my VW

Stop polluting the internet with "like" campaigns.

This adds to my point. This kit could easily cost $2k.
Theres nothing in this kit that drives their ridiculous $5k price.

$3,995.00 for parts alone.

and really those fins are larger in diameter than my Gt3071r there is a lot of machining there

also I looked at the first page of all of your quotes on peoples thread's. and the fact that you have only started 3 threads. It seems all you do is say something negative about everything you post on and everything about the FRS/BRZ. News bulletin: we actually like these cars and im trying to contribute to the forums. and in this case the vortech owners and potential vortech owners. And price?? really $5289.00 for a complete forced induction kit for a company as large as VORTECH??

Please do not post anything negative in my threads. Thank you.

Machine work
R&D
Insurance
ect..

Things at up which determine price Look at Tunes for these cars (any cars) They are not cheap even though its just a "simple program" they made in a week. Also most companys usually have a 10-30% hike on price for their profits. But thats every company. If they sold it just for parts and labor they would get no where. (company I work for usually hikes the price by 37% haha)

Not really my place to ask but why the distinct step in the machining on the volute? I guess thats a question only the manufacturer could answer.

Part of that 5k goes into warranty work for this guy above you.

I'm not seeing what you're referring to. Unless you're misinterpreting the shorter volutes as a step..?

That guy just likes to come in and complain on just about every post he makes. Pay him no attention.

I paid $4000 for my kit and it comes with a Visconti Tune
