Thanks Mike,
I am so confused as to why people think the turbo for the 1.6 would cost
less than the SR20 kit!!!! You have all the same components involved, the turbo
is still a T3, the manifold still has to be made, the intercooler is the same,
as are the injectors, and the fuel pump. You could easily make one on your own
for cheaper, but you better have an idea of what your doing! It's not like you
can just throw a turbo on to your modified stock manifold and expect to make
220HP. It takes engineering and plenty of tuning to make it work both correctly
and reliably. And also take into account that Hot Shots has to both buy and
support other peoples products to offer a turbo kit, it's not like they make
their own intercoolers and turbo's! They have to out source these items and
then warranty them! Sure it would be nice to have a less expensive turbo kit,
but we all know "you get what you pay for"!
