Why are turbo's so expensive, in general? Doesn't look to hard to produce.

They are not so pricey if you wanna buy a $350 china made turdblow. When it comes to the latest and greatest in engineering, design etc.. you pay for it.

Such a small turbo... oh well it works well with slow cars //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not to mention the multi-axis CNC machine that makes them. I should know, I used to run them. Each machine alone costs about $300k and we had around 18 I think?

Wouldn't a hairdryer be a supercharger because it's powered not by air.

The turbo is not that small really, but also not that big as I chose it specifically for my 2.4L engine. Like I said the goal is around 450 to the wheels "500+ crank" / 350-375 on pump gas at 2900 lbs which is not bad...... and this turbo supports the 500+ crank but is at the edge of the compressor map even though it has been tested at around 500-550whp peak. **** good bb turbo which will provide wicked fast responce as I am running a .63 turbine and it is matched very well for my engine size...

After all that work it will still always be a Scion, you do understand this? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

haha lil biotch, see you at firebird when you lay your ****** and rear end in little bits all over the track hitting your naaawwwssss yo!, your just jelous my car handles better, weighs around 1000 pounds less and has a system that sounds better than any home audio you have ever owned *LOL* Still love ya man! hahaha. Oh and no... still not gonna install your system for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

On another note, that is 100% exactly why I bought a tc, super cheap out of the box, very very nice car even if it cost $22K it would still be worth it... all in all I have spent probably less than you have on your toy, except mine is 100% built to my specs and my style. I like having TONS of leftover cash to customize as I see fit, that is the scion way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
