Official TURBO KIT DEPOSIT THREAD

When I bought my Supercharger ( $4500 from Excelerate) and paid $1200 for the install, bam I was already at $5700. This didn't include the exhaust mods, gauges or anything else. There is another $2000 in the exhaust not including the type-s bumper.
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.

Maybe they can offer the kit on a one at a time basis for a little extra money.

Majofo & ihc have just put it all into terms,and making kit on a 1 order basis would cost a little more but if we get these kit going eventually we will be able to pick up overhead cost and keep kits in stock,and deposit is pretty reasonable to the cost of what we put out to get these kits made...

Since u brought up the subject , everyones who's on the list already got an update that we will be removing rev limiter & govern , especially since there's a valvvetrain kit available for our motors , so if that's what holding the type-s guys back just to let you know they will be removed , that's an issue I've addressed myself , once we start production there will be updates and videos...And that's a guarantee from jandr ..

Nice Rodney and John.. the TLS kit on the way? That "should" stir things up again. I'm kinda sad though. I was hoping to womp on some Type-S's before the kit could be developed for them... Now they'll be on FI too... ho hum... lol. Nonetheless the Type-S kit is great news!
is ur friend.
