I should probably clarify 10k I am talkin about 2 turbo's, studs, wastegate, manifold, all the plumbing without 17 different boots, and labor. Now the turbo's I am talkin about are 6k.

I know what you are going through JD. It is hard for a lot of people to understand how much some products can cost when there are "competitors" for so much cheaper. People think twins are twins so why spend $10K when I can spend $3K. Just look at exhaust systems. We can buy exhaust systems on average for about $600 for our trucks, but you won't find ANY exhaust systems under $7,000 for my Lamborghini; some are as high as $17,000. Do they each serve the same function? Yes. But are they in any way comparable beyond that? Not really. Truly high end componenets will cost you high end money no matter who you get them from. Even when you remove name-brand pricing and mark-up, etc., you still always get what you pay for and pay for what you get.

Maybe I should clarify that mine have adequately supported me to 700 plus HP on #2 and I also tow with mine and it did not cost me anywhere near 6K. All I am trying to say is you need to compare apples to apples.

Comparing discounted turbos to full retail pricing on twins and then saying you have to pay someone to install twins, but can install a single yourself is the perfect example of not being fair in comparison. Then to add an additonal 2K for headwork???? What headwork??? Are you all just assuming this? The main problem I have with all this is it is just an opinion and very misleading.

Ya Wiggs that is true, And on a different note I am so sick and tired of seeing these trucks in the magazines. I know you are workin toward that and so was I, but after seeing the last issue with cotton gin or whatever I have decided It would be imbarrasing to have my truck in any mag, did you notice that they did an upclose on the dirty rear dif cooler, what a joke.

Ok, ok so lets talk apple to apple...
Arctic twins run about $2800 from what I understand you need a downpipe on an auto and you are done, right??? (correct me if I am wrong)
Industrial Injection Silver Bullet single about $2200 again you will need a downpipe and again you are done.

Both claim to give you 800RWHP

What do you do???

So what is the difference in your opinion, compared to mine or are you the mesia or something. Ya I know you slapped to turbo's together and now you have 700 hp on #2, hey if you did thats great. Now your are saying you don't need any headwork I guess? and again if you don't good for you. I still want to see what it looks like.

I am sure that they run great, but I have seen and witnessed different and I won't settle for less after being around that.

I never said I do any building. But like everything else there are different degrees of quality and some people want to achieve there goals quickly and cheaply and others don't. The problem is everyone claims to be the best.
