Maybe this needs it's own thread but.... What else would you need to add to the GTM turn key kit to make it right.
The kit is about $8k. A proper 3" exhaust is about $2k. Clutch is another $2k. That's $12,000 right there. Is there really another $8k that needs to be spent to do it "right"? Edit: I know I left out installation and that alone is probably close to $3k when all is said and done. I do my own work so I didn't think about that part.

The only difference between this and say the GTM stage 1 is the price of the kit itself. the same upgrades such as clutch, oil cooler(s), gauges, etc will have to be done on both anyway. But even then you are comparing a single turbo kit to a TT kit. Add the price of the other turbo and manifolds and now you're the same price range as the GTM TT kit.

Lets break it down -TT kit: 8-10k for kit, 3k for install, 3k for needed upgrades - Total of 14k-16k That is about what most have been paying to do a good clean install and be safe with proper upgrades. -STS kit: 6.5k, 3k for install, 3k for needed upgrades, does the kit come with a tune if not a possible 1k there for tuning, unknown kit design with possible problems we will throw in another 1k - Total of 12500-14500 This is a untested kit on our car and clearly no support on the forum yet from the makers of this kit. Also, unwated low pipes on the underside of the car may cause issues down the road. Quote:
I am not putting this kit down or anything, but from the pictures I see, you get savings of around 2k for a single turbo setup that is under the car. I would spend the extra 2k on piece of mind and knowing I have good vendors here that support the current TT kits and will jump in to help in anyways possible.

Brings your total to 19k+ lil shy under 20k right? Just a rough estimate. Wasn't really an exact figure, but I was trying to say.. If this kit cost 3k for the universal + labor (should be lower since it's easier to install?) so around let's say 3k max for install and fabrication that's 6k spent. You can use the stock exhaust with this kit. still @ 6k.. + tune + upgrades. If it's under 7-8k then why the hell would I spend 20k on the other one XD Might as well buy another car with that 20k or make a down payment on a decent house.

1k to ship, you are over paying, also you are in Texas, plenty of good shops around that you can drive to easily. Also, you said 6k total (assuming 3k for the kit ) and then tune plus upgrades is 7-8k. Upgrades are standard between the two kits, it is 3-5k for upgrades you might or will need. The differences between these two kits are: -Price for kit (6500 v. 8000): Also, what comes with this kit besides the piping and turbo? Do you get bigger injectors, fuel upgrades, etc.? If not, that is more you have to add to the STS price. -Install (Unknown difference) With either kit you are going to spend a minimum of $12,000 to get it on and running, after that you are on your own for upgrades or other items you need.
