Your right.,We will sell it for $1000 The cars we sell parts to and work on are not $5k piles of crap.Our cliental usually has alot of mony wrapped up in their cars so $5k is not alot to spend to add over 150WHP.P

you could sell it for a grand and still make marginal profit since the setup you offer is incomplete wthout a management setup for tuning. even if you inluded emanage ultimate and a good wideband o2, at the current price you'd be making a huge profit. i'm not bashing you just saying you might have a problem selling it for $5k+ because there are cheaper kits that run around $3.5k with garret or turbonetics blowers.
gl with future potential sales.

LOL.Apparently you are not aware of what parts come with the system and what some of these parts cost.The turbo alone retails for $995.Just the turbo. And yes we are including a pre-tuned engine management system. This isnt some Ebay universal turbo system.this was designed for the Maxima so it is a direct bolt-on.It is also safe for a stock engine.There are not kits for the 3.5L engine that we know of except ours.

Easy kids.

Allen, let him try it. If he doesn't sell any, he'll have to re-think his pricing.

Tim, you said we don't know what parts you're using. How about bringing us into the light and telling us what we'd be getting for the $5599+tax price tag? Does the price include installation and a dyno tune to get it running correctly? What turbo is it? Who makes it? What trim is it? What brand of intercooler is it? Realize that I'm not asking how you did it, I'm just asking what is all contained in the kit. I saw the photos on your website but no where do I see a comprehensive parts list. Also, please refrain from attempting to sell anymore kits until you obtain permission to do so from Greg. Thanks.

I'm all about forced induction and I'd like to congratulate you in coming out with a kit. I do however want to address some issues I see with the advertising and such.

From your site...

We also incorporated another unique element to this turbo system and that is converting the MAF sensor into a blow-through unit.By converting to a blow-through system it allowed us to use a conventional blow-off valve and vent it to atmosphere as well as being much safer for the engine.Yes, safer!


By converting the MAF to be a blow-though unit we eliminate the potential of sucking in unmetered air and running lean, which leads to detonation and possible catastrophic engine failure. We also utilized a Spearco intercooler to keep the charge air temps to near ambient levels and to help maximize power and increase safety even further.

The above statement is completely false. Would you mind explaining how having the MAF in front of the turbo in a "pull thru" setup could result in the engine digesting unmetered air? Perhaps Nissan had no idea what they were doing when they built the GTR...

The blow thru design keeps the motor from venting air that was ALREADY metered by the MAF. This causes an over rich condition in the "pull thru" setup...NOT a lean condition. Which is why people often have stalling issues.

Why are you paying $995 for a non bb turbo that I can get retail for $610? And that's without searching for a good deal. I'll tell you why, cause you're lying.

You're giving a customer a cross pipe that connects the two existing manifolds to the turbo, the turbo, some injectors and a piggy back controller with a FMIC setup for $5500 bucks.

How about NO

I'm ready to debate whenever you come up with some answers.
