Message I won't try to duplicate the manifolds because it will still likely cost over $1000, and I would have to put in quite a bit of initial investment. And I just don't see the demand... building so much power is not just a matter of a cheap turbo kit, you still have to build engine internals, fuel delivery, engine management, drivetrain, etc. Its not going to be cheap either way, and a savings of $500-$1000 is not going to suddenly persuade alot of guys to fork over $15K+ that the car is going to need...

Have you priced the GT3037 turbos? Or the GT2835 turbos? The GT2835 turbos will cost you $4K-$5K for a pair... $6K for a GT2835 "kit" with manifolds, turbos and external racing wastegates is a steal even if you have to fab the intake piping and downpipe ($1K will more than cover that). The Supra GT2835 turbo kit is $8K-$10K and that has not stopped the Supra guys...
