has jay mentioned.. its not rocket science.. building a turbo kit is nothing like making a set of cams or a turbo itself for example.. now theres a difference in quality in those and im sure its clear..
making a turbo setup is basicly gathering a bunch of already made parts and makin em work together.. i think the only real "work" is in the tuning and thats if its needed.. ok, there's the part where you make a manifold of course, thats some thinking and work right there but besides that, all parts just need to be connected basicly..in alot of other cars its just a matter of turning up the fuel pressure and your ready to roll.. of course theres always an easier, more getho way and a more elaborative and time consuming way of tuning..and it depends on the car etc.. some have their particularities
but if we are just talking about hardware..anyone that understands it should be able to do it..
thats why i never really understood why the "gude kit" was such crap.. ok it might not be complete for the average joe that wants to get it installed and drive off just like anyone that gets their oil changed.. and im not dissing anyone that does that. Not everyone wants to go through the hassle of figuring out stuff. Not sure what was all wrong about the kit in the first place but i mean i could buy a kit off a volkswagen owner and it could work..essentially its the same parts that are used in all turbo cars.
i like to compare to computers.. its like someone buying a built computer..he doesnt want to hassle of gathering parts and building his own machine. Theres an obvious difference in price when you compare them.. Even if I'm using a Athlon XP, and the other guy is using a Pentium 4, theres still the same video card that can be used, and sound card, and cd burner.. or you could compare it to an older computer from the 90s even.. which uses ISA slots instead of PCI.. all in all, the idea stays the same.
As for the parts themselves, well i agree.. there is a difference in quality even if it does the same thing.. but from the pricing Jay wrote, you could get brand new quality parts.. as a consumer even.. as a shop/dealer welllll...
