VW R32 HPA turbo kit
 
Has anyone else seen this? $30k for a turbo kit. I thought I spent alot of money on my car, but apparently there's people who are much worse. I don't understand how this kit can even be worth that much. The turbo's are just regular K04's, nothing special.

typo, maybe?

I think I saw this kit or a kit like it in an issue of "Car & Driver" a while back. That was about the price and power levels if I remember correctly!

so.... most people buy a vehicle and then install (build) a turbo... i guess for this kit, you have to buy the turbo and build the car around it! LOL..... that is insane! but seriously....... those are some kickass HP-TQ #'s!!!!

I guess in all fairness, I don't think you could buy any brand new car for $60k that does 0-60 in 3.2s Even a vipor isn't that fast.

These guys are just down the street from me. I have talked to them a few times. They built some very cool cars for Volkswagon for SEMA.........

They are THE VW and Audi tuners right now :D:

They told me how much got spent on the Jetta...and I damn near barfed...

But if you're talking modding a car and dollars spent you can make other cars like the Evo and STI (and several others) just as fast or faster for far less.

I don't want to see anyone complaining about the price of RX-8 turbo kits anymore.
