that is the price for the install, i spoke the these guys when picking a turbo. they basically use the HGP designed parts for their turbo systems but get them made in the us cheaper. the kit seemed a little pricey to me for what you get. also it doesnt fit rhd all too well either.

AFAIK, the only problem with fitting the US Turbo kits to RHD cars is the manifold/turbo fouling the Brake Master Cylinder & servo.

There MUST be a way around this problem, possibly by using brake parts from other VAG cars. Whoever figures this one out will be very popular in the VR6 community...

If I had a LHD syncro, a US turbo kit would be a forgone conclusion if the transmission was capable of taking the extra torque...

It looks like the $2,800 is just the fitting cost though, the price of the parts is not quoted.

Ive heard people say its a fair old hassle to fit US turbo kits to LHD cars, they said its about 2grand of parts/labour to get it to fit.

If i had a RHD car, especially if its 4WD, then ditto: US turbo = forgone conclusion!!

O and presuming i had some spare cash!
