VAST's kit is the only one that relocates stuff and does not look stock. However both the GenX and VAG kits look just as OEM as yours.

Factory? Here's an installed GenX kit (Justin's GT30 3.0l car):

Yup, looks pretty "hacked together" and aftermarket to me... and as for quality, the fabrication is an important aspect. Thin manifold tubing and ugly welds shouldn't be something associated with the Gucci of GT kits. Especially when other kits far exceed quality at way lower costs.

As for the pearl GT car, I would sure as hell hope that thing makes legitimate power. That thing has every bell and whistle, built 3.0, heads, your intake manifold, rails, pumps, direct port nitrous, 2871's, etc. Impressive results, but I'd be curious in seeing a scan of that invoice...it does not come cheap.

It seems it is the only decent car out of your shop when the rear end isn't blown. What about all your other customers? You seem to beat around the bush when I ask about Troy's car. How many months (weeks?) has that car ran in the last couple years? How's your own 700+whp beast running?

Not just GT wares, gaskets, rods, heads?

As far as Tory, you really know how to be a complete *******. You have any idea what Tory spent?

You are the reason the internet sucks, you are a complete fool and spread rumors, he prob has less into his entire build than you. His issues were a blown head gasket and stretched bolts. Why isnt it running? Ask Tory yourself he will be more than happy to tell you because he is a family man who hasn't had the time to get it done. I do know the motor is ready to fire back up, but he is the one who decides the timeline, he has the car in his garage.

As far as the pearl car, again your such an ***. Impressive but show me an invoice? What do you think parts wise it takes to make 700+whp? What do those parts cost? You spew your mouth about these mega dollar builds as if the only thing going on the car is 2 turbos.

In almost all cases the cars are getting engine work, 3.0 crank, pistons, IC, suspension, big brakes, RS4 engine parts... grab your calculator genius, it adds up. Our pricing is hardly over-inflated.

Your weld comments are getting old, you think your Sched10 mani's are going to make more power cause they have a cleaner weld? How many failures have we had of GT mani's to date? ZERO, and don't hand me that SSP bs about John's GT manifolds being cracked after the car took a nose dive into a guardrail and rolled 3 times, and then SSP had to have them "repaired".

Your the problem on these boards anymore, I'm sure you'll even seek out a nice BBB ripped tune for your car for low $$$.

The red car is getting caged at the moment, then we can all go to the strip. But anyime you want to put up or shutup, we're here.

When do you expect to have your car running?
Is Justin's car running?

same as greg/ssp, I wouldn't let that kid touch my car with a 10 foot pole. Why spend money on a GT build and then skimp out on the most important part?

My car is not here to break records or compete with a 3.0l mega turbo with every trick in the book. Nor will it make power because of the gauge of metal being used -- that's what tunimg is for -- nardware is hardware right?

I'm hoping to put down around 500 on pump gas with these little turbos and enjoy the car without going bankrupt.

1st reasonable thing you have said, but you didnt answer my question, how much spent?

For the price of your complete kit ($15,000), I have the GenX kit with custom machined turbos (aluminum inlets, (2) Tial 44 wastegates, 3'' downpipes, manifolds, etc) in addition to...

Rosten rods, rod bearings, piston rings, 2.8 heads built with supertech exhaust valves, retainers, valve springs, brand new ER SMIC's, RS4 headgaskets, RS4 intake manifold, W8 throttle body, RS4 charge pipes, metal TBB, 034 phenolic spacers, head bolts, 034 Density engine and tranny mounts, RS4 fuel rail, 044 Fuel pump, and...most importantly a (brand new) complete fueling kit with a dyno tune.

Subtract all the parts I've sold off the car in the process... exhaust, ECU/chip, downpipes, cats, intake manifold, K03's, RS6 turbos I flipped to Simpply, stock fuel pump, motor/tranny mounts, throttle body, stock smic's, various pipes etc...)... It's around 11 grand which, to me, has been affordable.
