Calling GTM products solid is of no compliment to them. You do realize they manufacture absolutely zero of their products right? So their Turbo kits include "brand X" turbos and "brand X" waste gates and a "brand X" intercooler, the fact that the turbos,wastegates and intercooler are of good quality are no indication that GTM makes a solid product. Just that they utlize good components in their kits.
Its really not rocket science what were looking at here. GTM may mock up or have another shop mock up a kit for them, then they contract another place to manufacture the kits in mass quantity for them. They may do some intercooler piping or various little things in house, but I can assure you the major components of the kit are not made on site.
Do you honestly think GTM CNC machines a bracket for a Supercharger in their facility? Do you really think they make their own superchargers? Not even HKS does that and their 10 times the size of GTM, they contract it out to a company that makes supercharges.
Im not sure if you guys realize this or not, but you could probably have a custom fabrication shop that specializes in that sort of thing, make you a custom one off TT kit to your own specs at around the same price if not less than the GTM kit, which they make a nice profit off of. GTM would have to make at least 40% profit on the kits for them to be worth wile to make and sell. So do the math...
But just so we are clear, GTM produces nothing of quality. They may subcontract other companies to do this for them, but its NOT them making it.
