Is that what you guys tested on or did you try the .82 housing that DB originally tested on? Sorry for all the questions

Just like all of our turbo kits they are extremely complete. What we are charging for is the difference in price between our normal 35R kit and the HTA version. Nothing to hide here. Compare the packing list in our kit to others. Compare our track records. Our kits Last and have been proven to hold up to ALL forms of motorsports.

Eric, I wasn't trying to come off as a d1ck just so you know, I was more or less curious. ETS has lifetime warranty, as does buscher..... so maybe bring down the price a little bit and be more competative in the pricing factor. all companies come assembled with all pieces to direct bolt in. corrrect me if im wrong. also both companies have been proven too.

Do a little more research about the kits. One comes with a down pipe, and a intake the other doesn't.

Did you u factor that in?

soo a intake is 100-200.....thats still 800 diff over other kits of the same thing..

ETS comes with downpipe and intake, buscher is downpipe for sure ( not so sure on the intake though )

so again, I'm NOT trying to be a d1ck, I just don't see a 1k diff to see AMS welded on the manifold. granted there kits are top notch, but so are ETS and Buscher as far as I'm concerned

evo 8 u.. if you are really breaking it down, need to realize that AMS uses the Tial 38mm wastegate(usually $225ish) while buschur uses the Tial 44mm(usually $350-370ish)

The reason I think they are slightly more experience is the fact that they are in Chicago, and Buschur is out in the middle of nowhere... When I went to buschur to get some things done, I thought their shop might be out in the middle of a barn. Anyhow even though Buschur's facility is top notch, you have to figure real estate taxes and just the property itself is a big.. BIG difference.

Not to mention they sell plenty of items at the price they currently are.... So why would you lower it?
