Smaller Turbo Kit

Dave .
I have no problem helping a turbo owner, sort out the issues that arise.

I DO feel I would be doing ALL turbo shops a HUGE disservice if I list part by part the proper and improper way to (roll your own ) turbo.

Lets not be the folks who get the paying advertisers too bad mouth us, as lets face it.... they are ALL producing very competitivly priced systems with the appropriate methods and tools.

I will help anyone with a problem, Just not going to help cut the throats of the shops that BROUGHT this( 2 stroke turbo's) back into swing for all the western riders to enjoy.

We all need to understand that there is NO 2000$ profit margin , not even 1000$..Its a labor of passion and commitment to those who believe in YOUR particular system and its operation..

Pointing out wrong choices in a parts list, poor selections in hardware and so forth ,,, thats the SWEAT equity that Dave, Bryce, Shane,Brad, and ALL others have invested, too tell the people who want to short cut this paying for the knowledge is akin to handing out diplomas with no education.

Humility comes from learning from our errors in the real world.

i know I'm not always right,, but I try and when I fail I have none to blame but myself.


back to the grinding room, got 995's to get done !!! ya baaaaabaaaay

all the stuff on ebay the chinese knock offs wont even make it a 100 yards tried it it dont work. u pay for what u get, if u want to go cheap there is always something that u want to change or do something different. when u start changing u end up spending more than just buying a kit and be done just my 2 cents

Well, this thread has gotten totally out of hand. The whole point of the thread was not to say that kit manu. should buy the cheapest stuff or that they are ripping anyone off, but just that they could offer lower end kits (no oil pump, use stock exhaust, no intercooler, no boost controler, etc). Most kits have full custom pipes and clutch kits, fuel controlers etc which of course add to the price. I wasn't intending on bashing those that sell kits. Just trying to point out that their may be a market for a basic kit that can only put out 180-200hp and is easy to install rather than the full monte.

Wouldn't it be cool if their was a turbo that was light weight (like garret Gt12 or 15), was oiless, put out a maximum 6 or 7lbs, and could be spring mounted to your stock pipe, and was $2800-$3000!! You wouldn't even need a waste gate or boost controler. Just jet for max boost and go.
