Default Looking for turbocharger kit test subject!

Hey guys were actually looking for someone willing to use there vehicle as a test subject with our business! Any year xB will work fine, and one that uses a stock exhaust so we can make a downpipe that bolts up to the stock system. Unforunently the kit will not be free but a discount is given to the buyer and the system is installed for free.

We have no restriction as of where the car comes from as long as it makes it way to Waukesha, WI (about 20 minutes west of Milwaukee) and we are looking for someone willing to turbo soon if not ready now.

Email us for more details, we DO NOT believe in using cheap made parts either with our kits and will not even upon request. We use ONLY full Garrett Turbochargers, TiAL wastegates, name brand blow off valves, ect. NO ebay specials! We would need the car for up to 3 weeks to complete.

Thanks Guys!

are you not afraid of the fact that the market is flooded with kits already? what will be your ploy to make people buy your stuff over other companies? what will you do for engine management, if any?

i'm not in your area, just sparking a few questions to draw some interest to your project

would most likely run greddy emanage. And our kits are different simply by the quality offered with them as apposed to price, i already undercut most others while offering better parts, we use 100% true garrett turbochargers, all real stainless tubing for exhaust parts, aluminum intake parts, powdercoated pipes, RC injectors, mishimoto FMIC, ect ect. Basically i dont cut corners and dont charge an arm and a leg.

Hello, i just traded my 03 echo and have gotten a 2006 xB, its completely stock, but i live in canada so testing on my car is out of the question, but i do want to turbo it this summer. I'm not looking for big numbers or track times, just some boost 5 or 6 psi would do, as long as it runs cool and doesn't ware the engine to fast, the car has 58000 miles on it, but i do have a engine out of an echo that has only 22k Km on it

Sorry, PM me for pricing, its not a HUGE discount or anything but it helps. Were to small of a company to give them away for free. As for the xA, im not specifically looking for one, but i dont think it would hurt to make one for it! If your willing to bring it in and let us use it + pay for the price of the kit ill do it for ya! Let me know !
