Well, Inspector12's Incon TT kit is as complete as they come... Only got to drill the oil pan and follow the directions! For $5,800.00, there ain't a supercharger out there at retail that should even be considered over this IMO... Not a bad trader rating, either!

Damn it I'M tempted! Well, I need another F-body first!

CHEAP and turbo kit don't go together. CHEAP and turbo don't go together. CHEAP and car shouldn't go together.

my build is in my signature and I got mine used
2800 for kit + ~800 is 'stuff'

If I ever do FI on another car, it will be a supercharger. Turbos arent all that..

if i do another FI car... its gonna be $$$$$$ and a turbo but thats not gonna happen cuz i don't have $$$$$$$$$. i would crunch all the numbers, have borg warner simulate it, have someone build me a 383 motor 9.x :1 yadda yadda yadda... but that would take a lot of bling and time and i mean a LOT OF TIME, math is a good thing and fun..but jeez can it take time

I talked with a few shops about a turbo kit, motor, rollbar, few susp. pieces, and labor and we were over 30k so start saving!!! Prob cheaper if you did all the fabing and installing yourself.

Thanks for all the props on the kit and the price I am just trying to get my money out of if as I bought two kits and the other one is on the car LOL! After spending nearly double on the other I would think the same for it to be a great deal for someone. It is right in the range of a new S/C, but I believe it to have a little more potential as have been proven by a lot of people. If anyone knows some one just drop me a PM or an email and I will gladly talk to them. I could possibly help out with shipping also.

You also have a CUSTOM setup. BIG difference! Try stuffing a turbo on our cars WITHOUT hacking up the front, keeping ALL amenities and without a shop doing it

Youre setup is badass for sure, but not an off the shelf type setup.

That's around what I'm at now... But that would include drivetrain, too, right?

Yeah, it hurts.
