Dude - I'm not justifying the price of the kit. All I'm saying is you need to look at the other factors.
If someone really wants to run a return setup - this is the kit! No extra mods.. it comes complete. You build the kit up from there.
That's it. Why can't people be happy that more people are developing stuff for our cars?? Don't you guys know that the more competition, the better it is for us - the consumers??

I think the reason a lot of people stick with dezod or turbo toyotas and talks crap about everyone els(not saying that no one talks crap about dezod or TT) is for the simple fact that people on these forums have either been badly burned by some companies or they have been on this forum reading the horror stories. So i think everyone is skeptical and rightly so since it is a big investment. To be honest i dont want to read on this forum about some guy who spent a ton of money on a kit only to have nothing but problems becouse no one on here helped him out with questions he had before he bought it. Helping people out is what this forum is supposed to be about. <stepping down from soap box>

Understood - I know you aren't downing them. I was not directing the lack of research comment at you. Just RE: what you were saying.
I do agree this forum is to help others.. but when people start talking about something without actually knowing facts, it tends to steer people in the wrong direction - agree?

besides, dezod makes a return fuel setup too.
When i got my sp kit 10 months after ordering it, it wasnt a complete kit.....

the pictures on the sound performance site are actually one of our members from our club, he has a RS3 auto and it is a nice kit but really not worth the money. sound performance will do whatever it takes to take every cent from you, my cousin used to work there thats why i know this.
i would recommend either dezod or turbo toyotas.

I think the kit is completely reasonable. Actually the prices for turbo kits on tC's are much lower than say a Supra or 350z. $5000 for a kit is about where most other cars start at. This forum does have a habbit of being bias towards a company (they may really be a great company) if more then a few people have had good experiences. Which by all means is a good thing. But to bash a new kit, or product cause the price or cause they are just new companies. Remember Dezod and TT had to start somewhere also. They have just paid there dues.....

I have personally spent thousands of dollars at Sound Performance in the past. I can tell you that they are slow, expensive and have no customer service. Unfortunately at the time, they were the only speed shop around. I would never buy anything from Sound Performance unless you own a Supra.

Im not bashing either.... I just think that if you are going to be truely diff and unique than you need to do some costom stuff. The whole thing with the fuel return can be build by hand for a lot less...Like I said im not bashing I just feel that it is a little on the high side for what you are getting
