I dont believe you will find a brand new Greddy turbo kit for that price...look into getting a used turbo kit, and just upgrading the turbo, couplers, etc. the pipes and manifold should be good to go. How much money are you looking to spend TOTAL on your particular setup?

funny you'd think the price would go down...when it comes to car parts, companies seem to charge whatever they want.

What I don't understand is that they could probably sell these for 35% cheaper and sell twice as many. Anyways, there's just stuff about economics I don't understand

I'd love to get a SC or TC eventually.....probably end up with a used one! but one day!!!!

part of it has to do with inflation... The US dollar is worth much less than 3 years ago.

Doesn't it come with a different EMS now too? I mean I would personally stick with the AP in a Greddy setup, but just my opinion...
