I've taken the price off our site in attempt to have more Rx8 owners talk to us so we can explain in detail how we strive to build the best turbo kits on the market. In addition to this we like to show how well we respond to emails/phone calls, and how much we value customer service.
To me this says "It's very expensive so we took the price off so more people would develop an interest" How close am I?

'expensive' is relative.
I think people are far too sensitive to price these days and sometimes do not take time to consider the value of what they're buying. This method enables Turblown to have a conversation with their potential customers about the benefits of their system and what the cost can be given what options / extras the customer chooses.

it wouldnt be that, there are alot of people who have interest in getting there car turboed but one of the things that you have to factor is that you have many options to choose from that can change the price like what turbo your running and what fuel system u need to get the horsepower u need. so you wouldnt be close at all. But to me every thing is very expensive for a rotary car.

Actually I just checked out their website and the depth available for these kits is very impressive. No wonder they don't list prices, they couldn't possibly account for the needs of each individual.

I have only read the first and last page of this thread so not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the rx7store has the turbo kit listed for sale on their site with a price.

Its blown, I thought that was obvious. 27psi is a lot to handle. Especially since the maf can't read that high and it doesn't have the injector for it. We are discussing the options of either A) a built engine, swap in a stock used one, or what he really wants a 20b.

My statement was kinda sarcastic. I had a feeling those seals had gone. I wonder what wouldve happened with Esmeril seals in that situation? Thats a real catastrophic disaster to put any seal through. But good luck on the future and kudos for the courage to take risk to better the rx8 community

No seals are going to live through the leaness that you would have seen at 27psi, would have made a nastly boom and then died ....even high octane race gas wouldn't have helped....damn....that sucks

I can tell you guys this, we just finished a 500rwhp FD, and for that microsec of 27psi it pulled just as hard. Jamaal isn't giving up and nor are we. One blown engine isn't scaring anyone.
