I have not found a kit that ticks all the boxes for me yet. Hell I am even considering building a blower kit depending what I see working best.

While we want to sell our kit to everyone we know not everyone will want the same kit, everyone has different needs, goals and a desired look. If you notice we make catch cans that are compliant with everyone's kits.

Good luck with you decision and let me know if you ever need any parts for it, we sell everything down to the mandrel bends if you decide to make your own.

There's tons of people out there capable of building their own turbo setups. If you have the equipment and skill needed to complete it, the setups can be done for a fraction of the cost of off-the-shelf kits.... you're just investing more of your own time. Not everyone has the tools and skill needed to build a good setup though and some others would rather have someone else to point the finger at if something goes wrong

I spend the majority of my free time building custom turbo setups and doing weird conversions for my own cars, I don't do it to make a profit, it's a hobby for me and a bit of stress releif from my "real" job

I don't want you to think that I was trying to attack you. You are actually one of the kits I'm considering when I finalize the details of my build

I know lol, don't worry. I just want to make sure people are making educated decisions and know what they are getting into, even if they don't want our products.

Don't build it to save money, build it because you love to do it and have the skill (silverdub mode). Ok if you have a great welder/fabricator on your side and get mates rates from him you have a foot in the door. But these guys talking about not being able to afford $5k have clearly overextended themselves on the car (or Mommy/Daddy bought it?) and scraping together some change to boost it as cheaply as possible is not going to end well.

PS. I love your work D3, just not your kit layout If it was high front mount and RHD compatible I would have gone with you guys for sure.
