i have to agree with the whole world, that this is the most bad-**** kit ever, i have never seen such detail and quality on anyother kit, not only for the tc, but other cars as well!

Will you guys offer payment plans? monthly payments? this would really help a lot of people out!

Yeah lay-away/payment plan would rock. Being military, we don't exactly get paid a lot. Pain in the ___ to save up like $5,000+ for a turbo kit Lol

Word. My bad then :-) Well who ever it was... :-P Take that. Ha!

Yeah. Hell, I'm 26 and my credit got jacked years ago and I'm still recovering from it. I almost didn't get the tC. Apparently having a steady paycheck doesn't count for anything anymore. Y'all take the Star Card? Lol

Any way, it is a bad a$$ kit. I want one like no tomorrow :-)

Beck,

The manifold and turbo will bolt right in, but the engine bay layout is completely different so i don't think the downpipe will fit due to the way the factory AC lines is routed, plus the intercooler piping will not fit either. The xB2 will require a completely different setup. At this point, i don't know if there's enough of a demand for us to R&D a turbo setup for the xB2. We still need to decide if we are going to release a version for the tC Auto tranny. We will need to get an xB2 into the shop for a few weeks to figure out the design we'll need to create a turbo kit for the xB2.

We haven't produces the auto version yet. But the difference will be in some of the intercooler pipings and intake pipe. The auto tranny is very bulky and does not allow the same intercooler pipe routing and large intake tube that is used on the manual kit.

Sounds like you have a credit problem if you've got 20% interest.

Definitely yes. You will want to work out any issues you have with the swap before you put on the turbo kit. The last thing you want is introduce another variable to your setup, in case you have some issue with the tranny swap. Plus you don't want to take the turbo kit on and off is you have to remove your tranny for some reason.

Sounds like you have a credit problem if you've got 20% interest.
for starters im 21, so i have very little credit history which is something they look for, credit cards allways have rather high interest rates, unless you're talking about a loan which is neither here nor there.

point is i would rather only pay for the product itself and not give free money to my bank, they have enough of it as it is! lol

so mrC, will we have the option to make payments, maybe with a good deposit?

Sorry, unfortunately we don't have the resource to deal with payment plans. Your best option besides the credit card company is your bank or credit union.

Buying a turbo with a line of credit is a good way to start your financial life on the wrong foot.

If you cannot save enough "disposable income" then you shouldn't turbo your car. You have to consider the fact that not only do you need money to turbo the car, but you need a clutch, tuning, labor.. and that's assuming nothing breaks. Knock on wood nothing has broken for me yet, but luckily I have repair funds just in case.
