Focus ST's GTX kit can be purchased for under $2k but thats focus ST specific kit. Maybe if you are looking to just purchase just the turbo itself you can probably find it even cheaper. I also think the MAP kit that comes with our ebm GTX kit are kit specific, at least some parts are??
4250 is cheap as fuck. So is the 5k full race. Most turbo kits like this run 6k-7k. If you get this kit plus a good intercooler for 5 k and 500 for AP plus life time tunes you have 6k into a car that get better mpgs, cheaper insurance and still spanks new 5.0s for less. Both MAP, Tune + and Full Race discount many of the fabbed parts to keep their kits affordable.
On DSMs, we could pull an ATP like move and get something to bolt up though. Considering that these kits include a manifold adapter (more like a manifold though), turbo, lines, charge pipe(s), intake and filter, downpipe, fittings, etc, makes the price look less offensive to me.
That's the price for MOST turbo cars honestly. The reason the GTX turbo is so cheap for the ST's is because ATP offers it as a stock location set up. So there's not really anything added. For the EBM it's not like that. The Vargas Stage 2 is the only stock location upgrade there is.
Exactly. That's why I listed off all that's included with a kit such as the MAP or FR. There's a lot of parts within those kits.
The simple fact is people who can't afford this upgrade shouldn't worry about it, problem solved. Gotta pay to play, haha! Cheers mate.
