thanks

Stay away from SSautochrome kits. Your better off fabricating your own kit then buying those kits.

no... not necessarily. all my kits that i pieced together were same price if not more than off the shelf "kits." reason being is that my setups were more complete, or came with higher quality parts.

Depends on how well you can source the parts and if the majority of the parts will be new or used.

Marc said it nicely though lol.:thumbup:

yes... turbo is used/old. you get a new turbo in those turbo kits. if i built a kit with a new turbo, chances are the turbo would be a lil bigger/better than your run of the mill t3/t4... therefore it would cost more. etc

stay away from the manifolds.. I read awhile back a owner caught the manifold crack and cause the hood(fiberglass) to heat up and set on fire.
