Any interest in builder turbo kits?
Any interest in builder kits? What I mean is perhaps the following:
Option 1 - cast manifold hotparts (manifolds and crossover, T4 flange and support bracket)...with no wastegate or wastegate provision and no downpipe (that is up to the owner to finish).
Option 2 - Cast manifold hotparts all hotparts tack welded together (manifolds and crossover, T4 flange and support bracket, and downpipe with wastegate stub pipe for customer to weld on wg flange). Customer does all the finish welding - manifolds will be welded by me).
i am trying to come up with budget options for customers that can mig weld, and want to give it a shot in building a kit (with my help of course).
Thoughts?
Here are some pics of Option 1 - except I was doing the downpipe for this one and using SLP headers instead of manifolds. I still need to connect the crossover to the drivers header in the pics

Right now the Cast Manifold hotparts and 40mm JGS wastegate sells for $1300 + shipping
I am thinking the builder kits would sell for:
option 1: $700 + shipping (Fully welded but you make your own DP and wastegate pipe)
option 2: $700 + shipping (includes all tubing for the kit tack welded together, just do the finish welding and add your Wastegate flange). Great option for someone that don't have the time to test fit and layout hotparts... just weld.
Builder kits are just for stock manifold builds for now.

BTW - the set pictured above will be for sale completely welded, minus the wastegate flange (I will weld on the pip for the wastegate.

This is how the cast manifold kits will be laid out.

Re: Any interest in builder turbo kits?
If I ever considered going turbo on a car I'd definitely buy a builder kit. It would save time not having to buy all the tubing, design route of travel, then degree all the bends. I like it. I've got turbos galore from diesel work, maybe I'll have to throw something together.

Re: Any interest in builder turbo kits?
I am not sure to be honest. I believe the k-members are different as well as accessory setup. If I had some good pics of the engine bay, k-member, andoil pan I'd be able to tell ya.
