How can you make this kit for half the cost of the others and make more power? I’m just very skeptical when a company comes on here and starts comparing themselves to others that have already established themselves when their product is even finished to do so. Don’t get wrong, a cheap affordable kit that will have good quality would be great for us little guys. The last the thing the community needs is a kit that has cheeped out on materials and/or kit components. Don’t disappoint Stripper.

The reason being is we have done this setup on many other cars and have gotten awesome results on them, and its not expensive what so over to make. We will have package deals like some of the other companies, A base kit and then upgrades you can add on. We dont plan to disappoint and wont put a product out if it will disappoint so dont worry about that we will do what we need to, to get it where it needs to be.

um...this is a teaser just to inform people that it's done and that the pics will be up after everything is finalized so that people can know whats goin on and only know what the final project is once completed...a thread without pics is only useless when it says that there is pics or that they are wanting to show you something. Cmon now...congrats though on the completion and i can't wait to see it
Durr? I know that it's a teaser... What are teasers used for? JOKES! This was a Joke..................... Dur... Nothing against this thread or anything but I would kind of like to see this process. Everyone's watching, why not show us some pics of the process? I know i'm watching this thread, I'm interested in a turbo myself and looking for one, so maybe this one could be mine... But it was not an insult or anything and trust me, I wouldn't use that pic if I didn't know what it was supposed to be used for........ Trust me, I know!

Give em a break 318 they been here a while, not everyone has the money like dezod.
How do you figure that statement when Turbonetics is almost $1000 more than us! Our kits start at $4265 for 5 speeds AND come full PnP with injectors, E-manage, a COMPREHENSIVE Base Map, stainless steel construction throughout, bar and plate intercooler and an s-pipe. To say that we do not give you a good bang for your buck is insane.

Anyway..........back on topic.

that's not what i meant, You guys have more of a broad range of cars that you work on and have more overall money to test new things, some shops don't. Not that i'm judging the size and capabilities of Stripper, it's just their choice when they decide to start new projects.

More power doesn't necessarily mean more money. Once you have the pipes and turbo it's a matter of boost and tunning. You pay more money for stuff that makes more power safer but with the Turbonetics kit, you're paying extra for their very generous warranty since 300~ bhp appears to be relatively safe on the tC anyways.
