I can guarantee that same 15k TT kit costs about 3500 to 4500 in parts at the very most..... I can see a decent markup but robbing someone blind because its a new car is just wrong....

The reason people are paying 15k for a TT setup is because to run a a good/solid TT setup you should upgrade the exhaust, oil cooler, etc. Most kits are being sold for about 10k, but it is highly recommend you pick up some supporting items to help.

Exactly Dreamer. People forget about labor and support mods. You might also want an electronic boost controller with those TT kits, heavy duty clutch, gauges.

No point in arguing about prices people. Nothing is official.

I completely agree with the supporting mods no doubt whatsoever... I was just talking about the base price of the kit. I usually buy the supporting mods first then afterwards the main dish

Ahh yeah i meant 15K for a full setup.. i wrote kit but meant the full schbang. 15K base price would be pretty redonkulous though
