Turbo kit....
i *think* it was 2kwagon (or someone like that) that told me about a company who sold turbo kits that included pistons, and all for right around $2000. ive spent the last 2 days looking over the forum, running searches, etc but cant find the post where he sent me the link. i found basicly the same thing over at the KORE site, but they want $4000 eek! thats twice the original price that i saw for *exactly* the same thing! im almost 100% sure that the kit didnt come from KORE though but it was a T3/T4 Hybrid with all plumbing, low compression pistons, etc...
any help would be appreciated!
also... does anyone know what the alpine kit goes for nowadays?

Azzy -
The kit you mention is our turbocharger kit. The kit started off as a simple, minimal component upgrade which then became a complete, comprehensive high power solution for the Tiburon as per the demands and requirements of the forum members.
As and when we recieved comments and suggestions - we added more and more components.
Basically if you went and purchased each component included on our kit seperately in your country - it would cost you at least 30% more than the kit does at present. Remember that included is a MOTEC M4 Clubman ECU inside, clutch, pistons, rings, bearings, piping, cooler (LARGE!!), BOV, D/pipe, exhaust manifold, Turbo (T3/T4 hybrid) and video instructions aswell!
The cost of just the Motec Clubman will cost you over $1200.00 alone! The total cost of the Stage 2 Kit now costs $4360.00 INCLUDING SHIPPING!
Let me know if you still think that the price is too high for what you are getting. eek!

yes... this is the exact kit i was talking about. only when i was quoted $2000 (you are talking US dollars correct?) the kit included pistons, rings (obviously) bearings, intercooler, t3/t4 hybrid...
i dont remember it including the ECU though.
personaly i wish someone would sell kits that you can work into. like... something around 2000 or 3000 USD. i can come up with 2000 within the next 2 weeks... but it would take me over 6 months to get 4400! and by the time i got that the price will have probibly gone up even more.
i guess what im wondering is; do you sell a kit that doesnt cost so darn much lol. i want a turbocharged car, but i cannot afford 4K right now. 2K and im golden. please let me know if you have anything in this price range. -- or what i can start out with. thanks!

The Alpine turbo is not a complete kit. Expect to spend at least another $1000 in parts to get it running. (clutch, blow off valve, boost gauge)
In that respect you're getting close to the price of the Ballastics turbo kit.
