Default Who makes this kit????

What happened to the eliteturbo.com guys and who actually made this kit.

The website is no longer there now that I own one. The turbo is a T61-T4 and the wastegate is 33mm, all piping is stainless.

Also what was everyones opinion on this kit?

You assume correct but...

No it was not dirt cheap, little lower than what they listed for on the elite turbo website.

We might become new friends...

May have to sell it, just threw down $$$$ for an engagement ring. I also want to save for our honeymoon.

Im not one of those guys whose woman is all upset about it, I just want to go somewhere badass for our honeymoon. We are looking at bora bora, or down under perhaps.

What do you think the hot parts and intercooler are worth?

i think thats way low since its all 304 stainless... even many sponsors say the hot parts and intercooler are well worth the price alone...

Thanks for the help gentlemen.

hmm well Im still debating so Ill sit on it for a little bit.

There has been one offer already and one interest. I guess these are not as bad as some are saying or there would be no one that wanted it.

Well its not that I want to, but Im the kind of guy that gets a few things going at once and then has to let one or two go for lack of time to do them all. Just the way it sometimes goes.

Its not an easy choice, plus each time I look at those boxes it aches me to think that someday Id say, damn wish I would have kept that and finished it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I dare not pretend that the money involved is not a factor, but I also think that no amount of money can take away that feeling when you stomp somebody's azz,

or that surge when the thing spools up and whistles like a 500Cat in a Peterbuilt.

So much consideration to be done, Mr. Miller is saying "go on take the money and run."
