He's talking about the treadstone kit. ($1800)

Not a horrible price, but I still think its better to build your own. Not to mention there is absolutely no fuel management nor fuel system componests. Between getting that stuff, a chipped ECU with OBD1 conversion, and paying for a tune, you're up around $2300+

I spent $1600 on everything for mine, and am fairly confident that had I known more about boost, I could have saved even more, and gotten better parts..

Forty your very right, If I knew as much about boost as you, I prolly would have built my own kit...but for now, i got the money to spend so i spent it! fuel management is really that expensive....save save save....you have to pay to play kids!

that treadstone kit rocks hard. Its probablygonna be better than piecing your **** together if you can afford it. The IC and those charge pipes are really nice and turbonetics makes awesome turbos. Nice stuff.

I beg to differ. For that amount of money, you can get better gear.

cast iron has a less chance of cracking. its also cheaper than stainless steel
and i belive it disappates heat a little better, and you cant complain about that
You don't want heat to dissipate from the exhaust manifold... you want to keep it in. More heat=faster spooling.

More heat = higher risk of detonation
