You should really do some more research then.

This.

there are an unbelievable amount of 400whp fa20's running around considering how long this platform has been out.

Seems Crawford has a love/hate thing. I see threads pop up like this where everyone thinks it's overpriced garbage, but other threads where people say Crawford does fantastic stuff and it makes sense why it's more expensive.

I personally don't have any vested interest toward Crawford, but I do have a generally positive impression of them. It seems the hate threads are based on surface judgements and the love threads are based on people digging into why and how.

Anyways, I thought the point of their turbo kit was big fat torque, not peak power...

I like to talk in facts. Here are the facts:

$7000

Uses a JDM VF36 STI turbo

Their shitty description makes no mention of any fuel system upgrades or if it comes with a basemap/tune or a way to install that on the car like EcuTek.

Now let's talk about the lies:

The first? Completely tuned? Largest Front Mount? 430 HP and 500 ft-lbs on "pump gas"? The whole damn page is a lie. The only way you are getting those numbers is with a low compression piston built motor from Crawford which they fail to mention. Give those numbers a shot on 93 octane, and I can tell you what you will get, a window in your block.
