I think I may consider selling the upgraded BNR turbo in exhange for the stock greddy trubo for $1250.

That way I can sell the stock GReddy kit for $2,250 and that would make this kit much more affordable for the average joe.

How many miles on the BNR turbo? Did you retune for the BNR?

Did you have any fitment issues with the replacement wga? There's not much room down there.

Less than 5miles on the new BNR turbo. After driving for a few mins the weld on the exhaust manifold failed and the exhaust leak was obvious. I did not retune for the BNR. The boost controller was at the lowest setting.

I did have issues with the bracket for the upgraded wastegate but those issues have been solved so the new owner can just bolt it up no problem.

No.

I paid an extra $100 for the upgraded wastegate. The bracket needed to be modified to solve clearance issues so that cost me labour aswell. It took almost 1 month from the time the turbo was shipped to the time I got it back.

Not everyone has 2 cars. I had to buy a 2nd turbo so that there would be no downtime.

I just got an offer for $3,000 for the turbo kit, AFR and Boost gauges and blow-off valve.

Should I close the deal or am I selling too cheap?

Well you sold $1150 worth of stuff, +$3000 = $4150. Would you have sold the kit for that?

This is the same guy that wanted everything for $4500 so I kinda screwed myself it seems.

+1 this excuse gets old and is super frustrating; especially when trying to sell turbo kits.....
