O boy, I was hoping that price would include the Greddy Evo TT exhaust and a Boost Controller and maybe a clutch? lol I can just add on things. Not that bad, its just high because of the FCON with knockamp with Dual wide band sensors. That alone is probably close to $4-5k installed especially with there G37 HR harness.

That is what they quoted me and that is what they will be posting for shortly. That's with twin water cooled bearing Garrets just like on their G37. The F Con itself was $4200.

EDIT: Intercooler is also included.

Wow... with tax it's gonna hit $18K easily. I was thinking maybe around 12~14K, but that is a bit too much! xD

You wanna go and ask them if they want to work on two cars and give us some discounts?

No doubt. Anyone blindly buying into a turbo kit without basic knowledge of rubber will find themselves sideways at their first stoplight!

F1's are awful!! Check the vette forums, a lot of guys ditch the Eagles for the GsD3's. Also check the traction ratings, GSD3's are rated higher than the F1 Supercar's and our stock Re50's (140AA). D3's=280AAA. The F1's are 220AAA. I had all kinds of gravel and embedded road crap in mine they were so soft. As far as road tires go, tread wear, traction, and rain performance it's hard to beat the D3's. They start going to **** tho at ~60% tread life.

15k turbo kit??!? I'm out...

I credit GTM for the cost of labor and tune though which is "only" about $3200. It appears the bulk of the price is on hardware. As fun as this project would be, reality soon sets in ... with tax, this project approaches 50% the value of a brand new G.

Some decisions ... a) do it now when the car has not depreciated as much, b) save and do it later when the car has depreciated more (less likely since it would make more economic sense to buy a new car), or c) forget the idea and pay down my mortgage? Tough choices.

Prices will comes down once we get more options. Besides, one can always buy the parts separately and install it and save at least 6-7k.

Probably not enough to make it affordable for the general public.. LoL The cost of a fully loaded 37 and turbos is what ? A base model GT-r right ?? No???? lol TT 335i w/ vishnu chip ? G35 with TT, and a TT to eat off of ?
