seriously, if you can barely pay for a kit, and then not have money to have it installed, what are you going to do if something blows up?

A smart tuner will never purchase a performance part that he does have the money to replace - its true.

If you are going to be boosting your engine, especially without a proper tune, or without a pre-built kit thats has some kind of warranty, you are looking for trouble.

if you want an up and running turbo kit that can be reliable..ur gonna need more then $3000..somethin more like $5500-$6000. thats including install, tuning, misc. parts u may need, etc. you cant go cheap on turbo's unless you want to have problems. and if you say its a show car, you should lookin for a good quality kit not the cheapest one.

That made no sense.

Don't you ppl know you have to do a lot of mods and go to a lot of shows to even get looked at for sponsorships??

You cant just slap on a turbo and say "sponsor me"

pfft i get out a lot believe me.... why even question that.



dezod's turnaround for a kit is 2-3 weeks

to where as "that other company" takes uhhhh....

*does the math*................


Longest to my knowledge has been over 8 months...

In that span of waiting you could of had a kit, tuned and be rippin down the drag....

face it... "that other company" is dropping the ball
too many fouls on them

^^ Still $400 dollars short, and unless he plans on installing it all by his lonesome, it would serve well as a mantle piece above the fireplace...LOL
