I am sorry but it is clear that you have never put a complete kit together, and understand the actual cost/time/effort necessary to do so. No offence, but you have to go through the whole process before you start throwing out statements and $ figures like that. Also, remember that I have no overhead AT ALL. No employees, no sales people, no rental space, no extra bills and the price is what it is because it is not cheap to put one of these kits together.
All the little stuff adds up in a hurry. fitting, taps, drill bits, oil lines, thermostat, zip ties, oil filter, oil pan spacer, scavenge pump relay harness, fuel pump relay harness, manual printing, vacuum lines, argon gas (especially when you back purge the pipes like I do), cutting discs...ect.

1. $1500.00 cheaper is easy i spent $5600 on mine and thats the BB turbo, fuel return,1000cc, 750cc injectors, clutch and enough stainless steel and aluminum that i built 5 different manifold and 2 complete sets of charge pipes. so i'm 150% sure i can build it for less. i can post a price list if you would like cuz yes i have every price from my build. as far as everything that is on the car right now nothing extra you can drop the price another 1k.
2. for you statment saying i have never put a complete kit together. i kno i have seen ur name at the bottom of my thread pretty offen and my kit is complete and driving (just waiting on a dyno time from Z1)and for understand the actual cost/time/effort necessary to build yes i do cuz i built it. working 80hrs a week going to feild for 30days at a time i'm a E-6 in the ARMY you can look up how much i make it's not much thats y i didnt buy any other kits and i could do it for cheaper. my kit is built its here if you would like i can post a video everyday i drive to work and run the hell out of it. but it's not made up. ur acting like my car is not running the streets and i'm prtty sure i designed cahrge pipes that have posted the lowest maf readings yet on a z at 10.5psi..i'm not a rookie at building cars. i can show tons of cars i have built this was my first custom turbo kit...
3. Yes stuff adds up i know...but it's not that bad when plan out something so long and add in extra cost that's the reason i spared a extra 1k for the build that i really didnt need to. and i went thru 2 tall tanks of argon and yes i back purged my welds to.
4. like i said i can show what ever you want price list. where i buy it from i'll give to you. i work with companys and they work with me...I'm not dumb stupid somethimes but not dumb. so if u want to keep this war going thats fine but dont get up set...i have all the proof behind everything i did and the price....and i just made a deal with Real Street performance i can lower the price a lil more...do what you want but my kit is here and if no one buys it i dont care....I built my kit with my Hands and i'm proud of what i did. hate me if you want I dont care.
