After all that, you're at 5 Grands

5 grand for the additional parts or with the additional parts needed? If its 5,000 for the entire kit and tune then damn that is a pretty badass deal that I might want to get into.

Doesn't Hellion and Turbonetics use Garrett turbos in the kits they sell? Or am I completely mistaken?

Turbonetics is another company just like Garrett that manufactures turbos. And the hellion kits use Turbonetics turbos.

With the additional...
I'm not an expert on Turbos but I don't know of any kits that are ready to go (just install) for the $2900 you posted, much less a twin set-up.
Those would be on my car already

I didn’t post this thread lol, but for 5,000 I much rather a twin turbo than a s/c I think. Now all I need is the $$$$

Yeah I think lots of folks would... but you're not going to get a turnkey twin turbo kit for $5k.

I would like a small turbo feeding a larger turbo setup like the engine in the 335i BMWs. Mmmm turbo.
