Common sense would tell a person to wait for the finished product before picking it apart. This is the reason why we have such trouble getting the itmes we ask for.
Besides, that isn't the Maxima setup and was not posted by SSR on this board.

Well common sense tells me if it's "almost done" or in the "final stages", there should be more of an update picture. Because that one doesn't really promote the product too well for anyone that is even slightly familiar with turbo systems.
I'm not picking it apart. How could I? There's nothing in the picture to pick apart. I'm not saying the system is "bad". I'm saying it's not there period.

I can see nothing has changed on this board in the last 6 months or so. Still the same bunch of guys fighting it out with out insults, you got to love it! Hahahah... 
Anyways my 2 cents says I'm cheap, if i was to buy a turbo kit it would have to be under 4K. The stillen SC kit I bought a few years back was only $3300 and it got the job done. Cheap clean power with few kinks, my favorite!
Matt and Matt, I have to download AIM again, my computer goes madd every other week and I loose all of my programs...
Whats up G and Killer2002
Long time no see guys. I guess I am just not into cars like I once was, I swear saving money is so much easier now

Lets wait and see the product. They are close to where I live, and I have heard great things about the work they do. Ive seen some of the Turbo setups on 4th gens and they look like Betty Crocker and Ray Charles develpoed them. They offered to test fit it on my Max , at a cost of 4500, but due to my divorce settlement , I was unable to do it. I would personally preffer an SC from Stillen, but who knows if that will be made. It would be cheaper too. If I had 6k laying around, I wouldnt hesitate to do it. Matt (SR20) is right, I would say that over 70% of you guys are a bunch of cheap asssseesss ! Its been proven time and time again.

I posted this pic, because I know there are people out there (such as myself) that get really excited about the idea of a turbo kit for our cars. This company made a kit for the Sentra and is now working on one for the Altima, which means the Maxima will be next. Since the Altima platform is very similiar to ours, it means as soon as they are finished with the Altima setup, we should have a turbo kit soon thereafter. Everyone needs to realize, that this is a BIG purchase. Turbocharging your car is not like getting a bag of fries with your happy meal.
It is a very big step in modifying your car. As has been discussed, it can be pretty expensive. Several thousand dollars is a lot of money, and I am far from rich, but think of the results you would recieve with a blower. If you want one, start saving now if you need to.

Those are pretty big diameter pipes? Looks like reverse y-pipe to me though? Where is the turbo going to be placed? You had the turbo to the right of the manifold in the other pictures are planning and meeting the front and rear manifold there?

Well guys, we don't compromise our price just because you think its too high. You get what you pay for, I've read many reports on people that have installed these poorly made turbo kits and have had problems with fitment, pipes blowin off etc. The thing is Turbocharging is a very serious modification, it's not meant to be cheap. No one's twisting your arm and making you buy a turbo kit. For those of you that have experience with turbocharging or any modifications and have a knowledge of basic car performance, you understand why my kit is priced at what it is. Do you guys really want to risk blowing up your car just so you can save $500? If thats the case I won't sell Fuel Management, or any fuel enrichment, i'll just sell you a base turbo kit and let you spend an extra 1000-1500 Buying fuel components, tuning and making everything work properly and most importantly SAFELY.
Basically, if you guys want I can make a run down on why i chose every single component to be in this kit, I want these kits to last for years and most importantly make every happy with the ease of turbo-charging your vehicle.
