The MSRP for their other similar kits has been around $3500. Street price has been lower. $6k is unrealistic that is what they charge for all their twin turbo kits.

I know that it says, Greddy designed the engine and intake covers. But where could some of us get that done around here in the U.S. what sort of shop would you request this from? Any ideas? After finding a shop to fab these peices, I'm sure custom colors could be requested to match the exterior paint.

anybody notice how similar that looks to the re-amemiya turbo kit for the AT 8?
The RE kit is also using an emanage and a similar turbo.
T618Z? 10EX turbine (actuator system) [ trust make ] 2 layer intercooler (H186 × L600 × W76) [ trust make ] E? Manage [ trust make ] EX manifold (molding make) Redom mini (limiter cutting and レブリミッター modification) Main injector × 2
EDIT: Oh yea, this kit runs about 4500 and produces about 260 HP
EDIT2: That's 260 on an AT.
EDIT3: $4667 without installation.

If SFR is trying to charge $7k then they are ripping people off unless it includes a full standalone, full set of gauges, electronic boost control, and a months worth fo groceries.
The parts and technology used in this turbo kit, while high quality, are the same concept as every car they turbo. Manifold, turbo (always a mitsubishi turbo - they buy in very large bulk), injectors, e-manage, downpipe. MSRP on other Greddy kits hover in the $3500 range, some with the same turbo (I still believe this to be a TD06-18G). The intercooler is usually considered an upgrade. Throw in $1000 for that and you are still looking at $4500 tops.
Greddy is in the business of making money. Turbo kits give them a larger outlet to sell their own manfuactered parts. Smart business move. Because of their size, they can afford to go through the tedious process of CARB certification which I would hope for.
The Miata Greddy kit is CARB legal, very basic with no intercooler, and goes for $1600.

From Greddy:
http://www.greddy.com/prod_turbo_bolt_on.htm
They mention many of their kits are CARB legal. Street price is usually below what they list on their site. I wish I could go to SEMA to check out this car. Someone go and take lots of pics and ask lots of questions.

I'll try to answer with what I know -- if I don't answer your question, it's b/c I don't know the answer.
police34: turbo kit is set to be released Dec/Jan, my car will debut at SEMA
IZoomZoomI: yes, those are pics of my car, but it will sport a RE_Amemiya front bumper and different Ro_Ja wheels for the booth.
Intrigue 8: A GReddy SP2 exhaust is mounted on the car.
devious12: you can do it yourself. You need your stock pieces, a dremel tool, some lexan, and some confidence to cut.
army rx8: How's Ft. Stewart? I'm getting set to come back from Korea and settle into Ft. Irwin myself...
