Well.. I never got a reply after asking twice.

A buddy brought to my attention Josh offers an AC setup for exactly what I wanted to spend. I will be calling him Monday. Hope you get yours off the ground.

I'm sorry I didn't perceive your post as a question I though it was a statement.

This kit will cost more than a D1SC kit.
More than likely it will cost more than most other kits as well.

We have done our very best to try and make a price competitive kit, but after much deliberation and pre-design work we came to the conclusion that we couldn't live with the sacrifices that come with it.

My fabricator and I have been over and over many details that we wanted this kit to address and there is no way to keep it priced competitive and make the kit superior.

So we came to the decision that we would build a PREMIUM kit for the guys that want a very trick, very clean setup that will support power levels from 450HP well into the 1400-1500 hp and keep the car and all it’s amenities as unmolested as possible.

Some guys don’t mind doing what we consider major mods to there car to get a turbo under the hood, or be left with a lot of loose ends to figure out on their own.
For these guys that are looking for a cheap kit there are a few out there that come with those compromises and sacrifices. If you don’t mind finishing the air intake, cold side, moving, and raping things than it won’t get any cheaper than some of those options.

You can’t buy the parts to build a kit for what you can buy the ebay PTK knock off kit for.

Many people compare kits by the power that they can make.
The turbo(s) and intercooler system maintain to be the controlling factor in that.

There are so many other things that we have considered.

I strongly feel that the most impressive thing that our customers will experience is the kits completeness and ease of install, not to mention the complete and total unmolesting of the vehicle and its almost unlimited potential.

In the end I guess what I'm trying to say is this;

Is it going to be expensive? YES
Is it going to be worth it? YES

Are there more affordable ways to boost your F body? YES
Are there sacrifices and comprises to be had for purchasing a more affordable kit? YES

Thanks for reading,

Rob@modularturbo


PS Lemon you really should call me.

No worries man!

Josh was actually my first option when I decided to get into boost.. I have went back and forth a few times betwen a few different options for many reasons.

I will call you Monday, I'm always open for options/opinions.

Thanks!

May.........



The goal was March but due to the laser cutter dragging his feet on our k member parts and with all the intensity on the patterns for the cast manifolds that we are planning to replace the hand built headers with this year it set us back a tad.

We are still charging hard and making progress EVERYDAY.

Just so no one gets discuraged from buying Version 1, when the cast manifolds comeout previous kit owners will receive them at cost all you have to do is turn in your original hand built headers and cover the shipping.

I'm very interested in what the production kit will look like. Twin BB 78s on a built Warhawk would straight own anything.

I enjoyed talking to you on the phone the other day. I could have definitely talked longer if I wasn't rolling through 5PM Bay Area traffic. You seemed very knowledgeable about what you loved and were also very enthusiastic about this turbo kit!

Your kit looks and sounds quite good, I'm already looking into what we were talking about!

Just a thought but since you have gone very far away from your original stated goals ,which is pretty much inevitable to put out a high quality in every area kit I think you should start a new thread and just talk now about the recent kit,you won't have to keep explaining things as much and you can post all the recent pics as they become available. Just a thought.
