i hate companies that give you a price for a kit, then tell you you have to buy nearly 2 grand more in other stuff to make it work lol

There's a LOT to finish out a turbo SYSTEM.
It seems that this system is built around the QA1 k-member. I dislike that K-member quite a lot.
Do you just want something to install yourself?

Why don't you stop by the shop and let's discuss your goals with the car and we can give you a better realistic idea what this project will actually run ya with this turbo kit or a fully custom kit that we can fab for your car.
Ph# is in my sig.

Whatever you do, don't be skimp on important features. Out here, you couldn't pay me to run a non-intercooled setup like that.

ive heard great things about tork tech and they do offer an intercooled setup, only problem i saw was your stock hood would have to go

I've yet to see one in person. Until then, I'll hold my opinions.
You can keep your stock hood. Ya just have to add the extended hood scoop looks like.

Personally my biggest beef would be reliability. Run out or lose a pump and watch those IATs start climbing. Spicy!

You have to account in the tune for the meth being added as FUEL. Even at 50/50 mix Meth is very corrosive. Even with Snow's new little safeguard system, it's just not safe enough to rely on in the event of pump failure, clogging or just plain running out when needed under boost and the a/f goes lean.

+1. Good you added the corrosive bit in there too. Most people have no idea what cylinder heads look like after awhile of running meth. In my opinion a person is better off getting a street tune with a moderate boost level and pump gas and a race tune with plenty of boost and race gas than risk all the above.

It's sooooooo much more simple that way!:pinkthumb:
