I am actually a little surprised you're not taking my money. Unearned revenue is a good thing as long as you don't lose money on the deal.
In reality there is only a very small chance I will end up buying this kit in the spring. Either the price will go up enough to where it falls outside my budget, I end up buying a used hotside or one from another company, or I change my mind about going turbo.

Its not that the price is going to go up significantly.
Its that we have already taken enough customers to meet our needs, and we don't want to over burden ourselves with back orders.
OFI went down the tube that way if you remember.
Also I would like to add that we only take "blind faithful" customers that are 110% committed. These projects require 100's and 100's of hours of R&D between Chris and myself. Not to mention the financial drain of working for free essentially.
As far as buying someone else's turbo system.....
Try TTi they are the only other company that makes a "keep the A/C kit" but I hope you only wanted to make 500hp because they require the use of a really small turbo not to mention the "on-center turbine housing" they force you into.........
All of the rest of them require the standing up of the radiator and an aftermarket K member so if you are thinking that its gonna cheaper somewhere else don't forget to factor those things in too.
thanks for reading,

Rob,
There's no doubt you are bringing something better to the market and I am looking forward to seeing the final product. If the price is within my budget you will probably prove me wrong and I will pick one up in the spring.
I'm actually more interested in keeping the sway bar and stock k-member than the a/c...can you make a kit like your $799 kit that keeps the sway bar?

I was intially looking at your $799 kit, now I just saw this thread. Instead of having to wade through every post of this very long thread, is this based off of that same $799 hotside kit or is it a totally new configuration?

I was all set to call to place my order until I found out that I'd lose the sway bar. I've wanted to go turbo for years and I totally get how large of a task it is to fit a system into the confines of the 4th gen. I know there'll be compromises, but unfortunately I'm not willing to lose my sway bar.
You guys are building some great stuff. Most initiative I've seen from a company on here in a long time. Keep up the great work and thanks for supporting the fbody community.

I wouldn't think you'd have to remove the sway for this. If they're trying to keep a/c, they're probably going for a good streetable car, which would mean minimal/no sacrifices in handling.

I didn't speak too soon. That kit is just as expensive as our Twin Kit.
You can easily see in the picture that the turbos are REALLY low and that an oil pump is required because the turbos are too low for oil drain.
BMR K member must be purchased that's in the pic too (I think)
T3 sized turbos
Air to Air intercooler that will affect the stock cooling system
Lets keep this thread about our kit.
