Need to know - how many want a turbo??

Hey everyone. I'm trying to get this guy to convince his boss (the company he works for makes turbo manifolds and turbo related stuff) to make a turbo kit for our 7th gen civics. I just need to know how many people would be in for it before i can actually start getting serious in the negotiations. Price would be the typical turbo kit $2k-$3k, maybe $3500, depending on how complete the kit is. It would include a "57 trim t3/t04e witht the new 4 bolt downpipe flange" and forged stainless steel manifold (won't crack) with 1/2" flanges.

Everybody who is definately going to buy one (even if money is tight now but you can see yourself buying one in the next six months), just leave a post saying you would and your name and e-mail address. I would like to see if we can find lots of buyers - that way we would be able to get a better deal (more people - first time the product is being offered = less cash spent).

Thanks everyone.

I am definitely in the market for a turbo (have $$, willing to spend it). I am very interested in hearing details on what your friend's company has to offer.

If i keep my Car then I'll be in the market for a turbo in under 4 months. If I get a 2k2 SiR hatch, I'll be in the market for a turbo for it in under 4 months.

Ok, well, according to my contact, the kit should be ready within around a month. It will be very similiar to the HKS kit - if you guys want an intercooler, it will cost about $1000 more, but I think that for a daily driven D-block, the non-intercooled system may be good enough. Non-intercooled, I was told we can run 5.9 PSI of boost with no problems and a long engine life expectancy, while intercooled, you can run 8 PSI but the problem is, there is nowhere to mount an intercooler in our cars. The kit will include wastegate, turbo, blow-off valve, piping, exhaust manifold, and all necessary connectors and fittings.

I'm down, but what about the fuel enrichment problem? That is why there are no "major" companies making one yet.
