Depends.. the exchange rate keeps flippin back and forth!

I believe it will be fairly cheap on either side of the border. Most of the parts are coming from US suppliers and can be direct shipped most likely. I think Sasha had commented on this earlier in the thread....

In that case perhaps the price would be cheaper in the states because then import duties can be avoided in many cases

But the pipe fabrication will be done in Canada and the import fees to the states will be equal to what we pay to bring the components into Canada... in the end it will be a wash is my guess...

I do have a much better idea of the cost. The oil lines/fittings sure add to the cost, as does the entire oil filter relocation kit. Two waste gates and two BOV's don't help much either....nothing is cheap with this kit.

Considering the quality, how complete the kit is, and ease of install that is a great price. Even if you take it to a shop for an install it won't be nearly as much as a TT kit for example, yet it will be just as capable. With the Stage I (62mm turbo) this is a 600whp out of the box bolt on system with no need to upgrade any of the components that come with the kit.

:tup:.... So where do I send my money and how soon can the kit ship out:stirthepot:

The import fees are nothing compared to those we see in Canada on packages coming from the U.S. For example, the turbo I got the other day cost me $135 at the door...good old UPS. I prefer to ship everything through Canada post (USPS) because you only pay tax.

I have sent many items to the U.S via UPS valued/insured for $2800 and the customer only pays about $80. If the same package was to get sent from the U.S to me, I would pay $220 or so at the door. Not sure how that works to be honest.

Either way, a lot of the stuff will go from my suppliers direct to customers. All that will ship from me is the exhaust piping, intercooler piping, brackets, silicone couplers, clamps, hoses, relocation kit, air filter...ect. Turbo, BOV's, waste gates, FMIC, injectors, EMS, Fuel pump...will all go direct from my supplier.

So for the canadian guys the kit will be a bit more due to the shipping difference.

As soon as the kit is working like the way I want it to on the test car, and once I have the jigs done up. The jigs take a bit of time, because there is no room for error.

So for the US guys the kit will be a bit more due to the Northern Neighbour Performance Premium.

What's being used between the exhaust manifold and the turbo pipe?

The factory gaskt is best, but it is a metal Donut. you will have to fab your pipe to fit it.

No exhaust leaks at the exhaust manifold would be the difference in me buying the kit or not, considering if there are leaks at the exhaust manifold it looks like it would be a pain to replace the gaskets.

If so, this is the gasket that I will use:

These are the best gaskets I could find, and are rated at over 2000 deg F working temperature. Should never have any issues with it. Also, replacing the gasket would not be a big deal.
