you sir, dont know what you are talking abour if you think their stuff is "overpriced" .... HPF is not selling you a "hardware kit" for the "turbo conversion" .... they are selling you a complete power package that requires no additional tuning, tweaking, modification once it leaves their shop. Also... how many people can tune an SRT6 ?? Of the top of my head I know of at least 4 shops in miami that can accomplish such a task... now ask yourself how many people can successfully tune a turbo'd M3 ??

The hardware itself is not 20k...Other then manifold and the stand alone are the only unique part of there kit. The rest you can piece together yourself for much much less. There many other cars out there that can hit 1000whp for much less then 20k.

Your mainly paying for the name, ease of installation and low supply since there not many people that tune the m3.

There no way a turbo kit would cost 13k... hence i stand by my statement that its a nice kit but overpriced..even if every part was completely custom they sold enough kits to amortize the cost by now.

I'd like to see if they could intigrate map switiching from the center stack with 3 diff fuel trims-auto or stick? I'd be curious to hear what flywheel and clutch you guys went with.
Looks great-White is a wonderful colour in those!

No Willow Spgs in the near future, however, Laguna Seca is in my backyard. Thanks for the compliments.

Do the maps account for left over fuel in the tank (say switching from 93 and adding 10 gal of 110 for the strip)-or do you need as close to E as you can venture?
I'd be interested to hear what specs the car has (turbo trim, build, IC core, meth package, ect ect)-coming from Evo's-I'm always into good tuning stories-great car-great mod!
