research, there are already kits for about 2600 out that many people have and people put down 180-190whp easy with them, you can turn down boost if that is more than you desire. a kit that will only bring us to 140whp should be about 2k ish...
dezod this is not to "step on your toes" but just to inform and look out for fellow 7thgeners.
and to the person who mentioned that a cheaper kit would bring loyalty, if you buy anything from this guy, youll notice he deserves all loyalty, hes a great guy with service, quick shipping, and always tries to help you understand by answering your questions even before you purchase anything.

Rep Power: 280 agree, 125 whp for $2600 not very good selling point...
Dezod, you need at least 135-140 whp to attract people for about 2100-2300 with everything included for install (look how competition does it)!

Forget the injectors, and the fuel system.
Now can you get me around 200 whp for around 2000-2500$?

Yes. If you just need our turbo, manifold, WG and downpipe I sure can.

or

These are even cheaper than that. Hence we offer the assembly.
If you are going to build yoru own charge piping, and buy your own intercooler, bov and fuel system then it is super easy to keep the cost down.

HKS manifolds suck.... I had one.

Rep Power: 285 they get the job done, right?
beggars cant be choosers. You all are asking for a cheaper kit. So dont criticize when he makes a recommendation that lowers cost and still gets the job done.

just make a kit that you can break up and only buy what oyu want. if you want a ghetto turbo then go for it if you want a high boost then go for that. or if you want something inbetween then you can customize it to that. this way everyone gets the best of both worlds. make the whole kit customizable.

BTW: when I was looking at TSI kits, for D17 they have only extreme kit (with intercooler), they also carry and alternative (not for D17), intercoolerless turbo kit. On average it costs about $1800-1900 for other honda engines.
Dezod, its good way if you will complete the gap and introduce thek you just mentioned. TSI skipped on it and you you will pick up their buck.
Meaning that, rather compete with TSI (you main oppnent for d17 kit)
you will offer a different choice for the customers. Just reading this post I see at least 5 possible buyers where at 2 will buy for sure, possibly 3-4.
Keep us posted on you progress, I'm sure it will be another quality product by DEZOD MOTORSPORTS.

Rep Power: 424 I'm completely onboard with instaboost idea. I guess i have to be since I threw it out. But I do have one thing... I don't have an issue with an intercoolerless base kit, but I'm gonna have to have an IC. I wouldn't take the car out on the track and hammer it without one.
Just someone ball park it here, I don't need an exact figure... for an intercooler the size of the MS miata or so (1/2 the front grill) and the associated plumbing, what am I looking at? 500? 700? I'm gonna have to do the plumbing myself or move the oil cooler around. I just think the IC option is a good option to have around cuz I bet more than a few people will take it as a basic safety upgrade.
I figured low pressure boost with a small IC, a big oil cooler and the overdone factory radiator ought to keep the motor safe from blowing up.

Rep Power: 327 mine is a johnnyracer e-bay FMIC and works great, was only $200? It's a little on the long side but fits with some trimming on the bumper. There is no REAL advantage to name brand FMIC's but im sure Dezod could supply you with a cost effective one to meet your needs

Rep Power: 336 i agree with boiler- im gonna want an IC just to be safe. don't have to be a liquid cooled one, just the size of like half of our radiator or something. ive seen some small intercoolers with guys running 6psi

Rep Power: 811 exactly, this is supposed to be a base kit. so dezod can you give a quick summary of what it will come with? i'm already looking for stuff like gauges and turbo timer which i wanna make sure won't come with the kit. also the blue emanage should be fine for tuning right?
