like to see how this kit holds up months down the road, for 10k i would want to see proven dyno results. for another 2k you can get a true proven kit from lmr or kytp which is proven to work, dont really like the idea of using log manifolds i see maybe 5k in parts I know there has been almost 2 years in research and developement, so dont understand the 50% mark up.

You dont have to let me go. You have released the setup Now we will let it do the talking. I have yet to take a shot at Modular Turbo's (a sponsor here) setup. I have no need too.
Rob get one of those setups on a Prepped engine so what can see it what it can do. Make it happen PIMP .

Since you haven't released any installed pictures yet nor have I've seen it mentioned, does the battery or the fuse boxes on the drivers side get relocated at the customers expense or do you have this taken care of with your system?
Being where you've located the turbos simplifies the exhaust system.
I'm bringing these particulars up because in the finished build, all of this matters with the total costs. Pricing out these builds for customers are difficult when too many modifications need to be addressed. It jacks the finished costs way up due to the amount of labor times which is why I asked in a previous post on the approx. install times...
I'm glad that the LS2Formula car was mentioned. Although that is a badass car, that setup is not an easy sell to the people we deal with. I'm only looking at this from a business standpoint and not personal. Thanks for listening...

I have to guys on the fence over this kit. Its bad *** for sure. All the price hate needs to leave this thread. 10k for a kit is not bad, hell you pay more for a aps with shitty turbos lol. Good job to rob spoke to him in the past good guy. I think the results are going to speak in the near future. Hell twin 67mm will make some serious power on a 408.

To Firehawk: No the battery and fuse box is untouched. I am working on some marketing material right now that will be released in a few days that will give everyone a complete break down of what is involved in the install and what is received in the kit.
Also you are right about the differenced between Josh's kit and our kit.
We are not targeting 7 second racecars as customers, but I'm sure that 7's are capable with the right car. Our customer target is someone that wants ZERO impact to the vehicle and serious impact to its power. Basically street cars, that you can hop in with clean clothes, sit in a drive thru with the a/c rocking, then goto the track click off 10's 9's whatever, drive to dinner with your lady go cruising, then go home.
To Outlawz: thanks for the compliments

I would like to point out this as well, Firehawk got me thinking about this as well.
Nothing is needed other than the kit for complete install, there are no hidden costs and there is nothing you have to buy.
thats why it 10,000
also I think some are forgetting that there are 1800 in turbos 500 in wastegates and 1500 dollar K member with custom motor mounts.

Well you've answered my questions and then some. I see in the pictures that the windshield washer resevoir is untouched and you've even added small but useful details on the K-Member such as the mounting locations for the brake line. These little things is all part of what I mean by "well thought out"
I also see you recognized my point on further expenses after purchasing your system. Changing the radiator, fan, hoses, mounting up a new support for the A/C condensor all play a role to the price as well...
I would assume you've taken into consideration horns, cruise control, etc...

LOL. I saw "$1500 kmember" and thought, "WTF? Is it gold plated or something?" and then I saw the 2 pictures below. WOW! That's pimp! Way to think outside of the box. Makes a lot more sense now. I couldn't seem to get my head around how you would achieve your claims without moving SOMETHING around. Very creative. Good luck!
I would suggest that anyone looking to run big power, should eliminate some of those couplers and go to solid welds, vbands, and/or wiggins clamps.

Right on man, I get what you mean. We are using very high grade silicone couplers and clamps also we purchased a $500 bead rolling tool just for that reason I am 100% confident that no one will have any issues.
Good point though, who has a turbo car that hasn't popped a boost pipe at some point LOL
It happened to me at Homestead raceway a couple weekends ago and I honestly thought that I lost the motor for second LOL
You are local to me we should hang bro PM me your number. I am planning a trip to Moroso soon.

I've been turbo charging cars for 20 years and not once have I had a hose blow off.
Bead roll the connections, use T-bolt clamps and make sure they are clean and dry.
