Default Look for turbo Pic.

Here a while back somebody posted up a link showing there turbo kit all layed out with everthing you get. Very informative. The pictures look like the parts were taken on a kitchen floor with tan tile if that helps. Any systems pics would be helpfull.

This is an STS base kit.



At one point parish put a bunch of pics of his kit up. Not sure if he did a pic with everything at once though since his came in pieces over time.

F8L Z71,
As a STS dealer, can you tell me why the kit shown above is worth 4 grands?????
I counted 18 clamps, some hoses, a few feet of tubing, the blower and a couple miscellaneous items.

I'm not a dealer...

Simply put.

R&D & Marketing (IE, takes a lot of time to design something then you have to make money selling it otherwise it's a waste of time)

The items themselves may only cost $2k if you were to get every raw piece on your own.

Now, spend all the time to measure and bend all the tubing, then get it coated. Figure out an oiling system that is reliable and can pass SMOG and doesn't require you to use crank case breater filters. Never mind all the associated wiring and warning systems etc. etc.

Go ask anyone that has ever built a rear mount system that was successful and could be mass produced how much it cost them an I bet you get over $3k real quick.

Even if they through in an intercooler and injectors you'd still be about the price of a Radix of full blown ATI kit so why do they charge so much?

Anyway, most dealers discount the kit from retail anyway

So if dealers discount the kit, who is the best deal? Send me a name and number F8L Z71, I'm looking to give myself an early christmas present.
