You are not entitled to get your design/fab time back on every kit. You can recoup your cost on maybe two kits. After that its 60% markup. Think thats fair????? Drop that price to $5495 and sell 10x more than you ever will and maybe learn something about business. Why do you think the blower kits sell so well??? Not because they are better or more efficient than turbos.
If it was as easy as you think, kits would be cheaper. There isn't the mark up you think there is. If it cheaper was the answer, you would see turbo companies thriving. But instead, how many have you seen fold? I can think of two in the last year or so. All selling too cheap.
Personally getting the kit building process streamlined along with lowering cost to sell more kits and so on is what I would want. Maybe you could make yourself a brandname like Hellion then??
Wait, what?
You are complaining about these turbo kit prices, and saying the smaller guys should create a brand on higher volume, and lower pricing - and tell them they should do so to be like Hellion?

Ok guys. If you all want the trend on turbo kits to continue to sell in the $7k+ range, then so be it. I personally will not spend that much on one.
And I guess you also never heard about volume sales. That pays higher dividends than low volume high cost sales. Get more kits installed in cars, then get more real world exposure which will lead to more sales, growing business and adding more employees. But hey, if you want to build them one at a time and maybe sell a handful a year then I guess thats your plan. Personally getting the kit building process streamlined along with lowering cost to sell more kits and so on is what I would want. Maybe you could make yourself a brandname like Hellion then?? But again, I guess Im the idiot for wanting to pass along savings to customers, increase customer base and grow a business then. Carry on.
I personally will not spend that much on one.
And furthermore WHY are you guys jumping on me?????? Wouldnt you want a higher quality kit for $5k rather than $7500?????? What is wrong with you people. This is like the third thread you people jump on me over bringing up products that we are getting price gouged on. Its like this in the corvette world too. They pay $200 for a painted license plate frame that says corvette on it because thats what people have done for years. Nobody wants to stand up to these vendors and say NO we are not going to pay those prices anymore. They sell axlebacks that use the same mufflers, same material(less of it I may add) for the C6, yet its double the price for the C6 vs a same muffler kit of the same material for the mustang. And the mustang kit has more material. Its the market, and it needs to be changed.
If you guys are ok with paying $7k-$10k for turbo kits, then so be it. Im not. Simple as that. This doesnt make me right by any means, but these vendors need to hear this. YOu wont have me as a customer. And you will FORSURE loose many other customers who cant or are not willing to pay that much either. Its not just me saying you wont get my business. Its everyone looking for boost and already reserved to spending $4k+ on something nice. Seriously guy, quit flaming and see the bigger picture. Are you OK with spending $2k more than you should on something?????????????
Oh my god this is not rocket science. People are just looking for a reason to flame. But I bet if another company(NOT On3) brought the same kit to market minus the k member with brandname turbos for $5k, it would be sold out for months. The demand would be higher than anyother kit. Everyone wants twins, but they settle for a blower because of cost.

Where are you getting 10k? The most expensive twin kit on the market is the hellion at $7500. It's over 8k if you get ball bearing turbos.
Twin kits come with headers. If there was a way to NOT need headers, the kits WOULD be $6000-$6500. But there's NOT. It's not a $200 license plate frame. It's not price gouging. It's not 2k more than you should. You don't know how much things cost.
You CANNOT put together a quality twin turbo kit together for 5k. You're just wrong dude.
Ok man. Just know that it is possible, and maybe someone will step and do it. Its not my business, but if I was in that business it would make sense to make a middle of the road kit between hellion and on3. Thats probably where you should have came in, because we all know you cant compete with hellion even though you are in the same business, selling very similar products. But again, thats just me.
It is? Ok so show me.
What turbos? Gates? Bovs? What brands? How much are you getting them for?
