Having said that, it's a very minute cost to have the kit modified to fit.

def with arch on that one.. as far as making things work go..
now man, not to down you at all because i havent been around here alot lately and i dont think you have either, but you sound like your new to this, and sort of an amateur..
a turbo on our cars is not somethign easy to come by..
viper and tiago have spent years on there cars building their setups custom..
now tiago sells one over at FFF but its gonan cost ya.. saving money you will have to do considering the base kit hits somewhere just over $3000 i think.. which doesnt include any form of tunning that im aware of..
also, you need to save an extra $500-$1000 before even starting this project for miscelaneous failures and repaires.. even with only 47k miles on it, and as strong as our motors are, some basic things will probably have to be replaced.. and anytime you add that much more power to a motor you need to have some extra cash laying around in case something goes wrong... the last thing you want to do is go and save up for a turbo kit, get it installed, and 2 weeks later have your car sitting in your garage needing repairs and you not having any money.. im not saying its going to blow up but anytime you start adding that much power its a possibility for things to go wrong..

Why'd he stop kit production? Not enough interest?
