what i consider bare minimum:
turbo, wastegate, downpipe, piping, fuel pump, hoses/oil lines/misc parts

This is my concern that no one has seemed to address yet.
I've heard there are issues with the Stillen SC. However, the huge plus for me is that Stillen is a tried & true company. Granted they are super expensive. However, if I have an issue with a Stillen SC .. I will get warranty service ... probably with a lot of hassle, but I've already found a Nissan dealer that will warranty anything that has to do with the Stillen SC install b/c Stillen is a reputable company and he has history with Stillen.
How can an independent like yourself offer the same warranty/service?

Ok a couple of things id like to address, first dont compare me with stealn' me and my two mechanic friends are just trying to put something together, second no waranty unless we get our shop up and running soon and then it will be limited but dont quote me on that, turbomax like i have said a couple of times 2000 is going to be a bare minimum kit and it realistically will run 3000 so dont jump on me about the rice im not reall sure yet. If needs be this kit wont come out untill late summer so i can road test the hell out of this thing and spend plenty of time on the track to see if our motors will handel this boost with out any problems. this time will also be used to work out the bugs with the system. For those who doubt this is possible stop worrying, one of my good buddys owns altered atmosphere here in md and another one of my mechanic friends builds turbo supras and as assured me this is all posible so just give it time we cant rush this thing or else it is going to end up like all the other turbo projects (squashed) so just give me some time and ill try to keep you all informed of the progress, and like i have said many times if you all have any questions for me just write me an email at chessieone@yahoo.com and ill try to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for all your patience. By the way DA-MAX i should be up at the meet depending on my schedual but ill try to make it. if you dont know what my car looks like its 95pearlwhite with a red nismo banner on back window and mxdriver on front that way you know who your looking for.

I think he just realizes that the $2k goal isn't going to happen so he's just revising his estimate. Products get pushed back all the time, if development is going slowly its better to push it back then to just give up on it... just my $.02.

It took my tuner a little while to figure out the 6 cyl out put sequence with Haltech. Without having to use like a Grandnatione coilpcak. Just FYI

A couple turbo questions
1)If the base kit (the one that will be $2000 or CLOSE to it) comes with the bare minimum and makes like 60-70-80HP (? I donno turbo's), then why would our engine have a problem with it ? I don't see how it would brake down alot considering the boost would be fairly conservative. Am I right in sayin this ? And what WILL the actualy HP and Torque #'s be for the baseline turbo ?
2)What kinda noise does the turbo make ?? Does it sound unique ?(Moreso than a supercharger?)
I am hungry for a very unique noise that will leave ? marks on peoples faces. WAHHHHHHHH PSHhhhhhhhh....Mmmmmmm

Price: $499+shipping.

turbo spool pretty much sounds the same for all cars. some are louder then others. try a ball bearing turbo. Blow off valve sound depends on type of BOV, piping, and how much boost your running. ever wonder why MR2's are loud?? hehehe
