With all due respect, unless you have engineered a specialized kit for a relatively small market yourself. Tried to produce, market and sell that kit, and maintained a business with all the necessary overhead, etc. Again, all for a relatively small market.
Unless you have done it, you have no clue what you are talking about...
Why gon't you go out and "just get a manifold made and intercooler piping done".
Then buy the components (intercooler, turbo, oil lines, fasteners, gaskets, hoses, injectors, etc).
Oh, and don't forget about how you are going to TUNE it. And make sure you do it right (which is very unusual).
Do all that, and then get back to me about how much of a rip-off BMW forced induction kits are...

I also notice they have a dyno inside their facility. On some special days, I see other cars like 2 new 350Zs, a E46 M3. I believe one of the workers there owns a topaz E46 and I occasionally see a 4 dr silver E46 there as well; Probably for testing. For more info, check out their site at www.vwturbo.com
No it can't. According to Samir the Step is good for up to 260 lb-ft of torque. If the ATP kit makes 350 HP it should be making at least 300 lb-ft of torque.E46_Angemon said:Can step handle this much power? If it can, then I'm so interested...
