that is a very common turbo and cheaply priced one. You might help buyers by offering a .63/.50 trim t3/t4. the one you are considering standard will only be good for 8-9 psi. at that point the turbine will become way to restrictive at higher rpms and the compressor will not flow nearly enough to perform well. Many peopel who just want to bolt on a kti for stage 1 and be happy will be fine but anyone who has plans to go 15psi+ will end up spending more oney in the long run.

The problem for you is once the buyer has his stage 1 installed and wants to go to 10PSI+ he will be forced to sell his "standard Garrett, which won't sell, he will have his money wasted in that small turbo. In turn he will look for a used turbo to upgrade with and you lose a customer/sale.

To be a competitive Turbo kit retailer you need to have a well designed stage 1 that is easily upgraded to a stage2. Having to replace the turbo from stage 1 to stage 2 will hurt sales. Yes your stage 1 will be 300.00 more but it will be worth it to the buyers. Also you need a Defined "map" for upgrading. Having the Stage 2 kits designed will onyl help the sales of the stage 1 since the buyer will know what to plan on. Just stating that you have a stage 2 in the works doesnt give the buyer a Warm fuzzy feeling. The most important aspect of your sales should be dyno slips. Just because you chose a turbo and bolted it on doesnt mean it's performance will be optimun for the kit/motor combo. The basic idea is that not all forced air is created equal.

Hahn Racecraft will be your competitor and has gotten to where he is for a reason.....price doesnt mean shit when your buying a turbo kit, you get what you pay for and the first legit unhappy person on this board will ruin what your trying to accomplish. You must be prepared to present proof your kit will perform to the expectations of the public.

Those of us that have been here for some time and do fabricating are going to make it very difficult on you. We demand more than the average kit thrown together for our Newb's...lol We will be the people who get questions on how to do this and that with your kit, and there will be no way for you to be on here 24/7.

Good luck to you, look forward to seeing which direction you go and what you come up with.
