I think people see the blower for $4000-4500 and think "Oh I will just throw that baby on one weekend" I looked around for weeks for a shop I trusted my car to, and overpaid to have it done right.

Making a FI kit that adds 170 WHP to any car is going to be expensive and wanting to cheap out is counter productive. Getting a kit for 3k that blows your engine and you are out an engine and the down time if the car is your daily driver. Look at what a M3 cost to turbo.

I bought my car brand new so I guess I see $6k as a smaller % of the cars value. Those who paid 11K for the car see the price of the kit as more than half their cars value where I see it as more like one fifth.

Maybe just me being a noob but whats wrong with just producing a kit and who buys it buys it at the time they desire. If you want to offer a special group buy pricing or introductory pricing than thats sweet but no everyone has 5,800 laying around or even 500 for a deposit. But I guarantee when they see others having the kit they will consider it in a few weeks or months.
