My point exactly, why would I or any manufacture come out with anything when we get threads like this one, or the one the other day on "engine swaps" with some genius wanting to swap in a rotary or Honda engine. I am hesitant to come out with my kit every time I read a post that has no thought behind it.

so basically you think that because the OP wants to twin turbo a yaris and run the piping in the most confounded way, that'll prevent manufacturers from building turbo kits?

what's the REAL reason you never followed through?

there is alot of thought in this thread.

alot of good marketing points that a smart company could exploit.

concerns regarding weight (list the weight of your kit)
concerns for fitment (list exactly what needs to change)

I could go on and on, but if you don't see "this thread" as marketing gold you're obviously not reading into it (and the other HKS turbo kit thread).

your call if you want to help a community that obviously has a market for a properly setup turbo kit that doesn't cost 1/4 of the car (for the base kit, people have expressed they'd be willing to pay more if it came with more)

oh, well we shall see what happens. nothing we can do but wait for the people with the Means/Drive to build quality products.

What? A forum is the reason nobody wants to make parts?

That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You haven't made it because either you don't have time, don't have resources, ran into problems, are worried about anyone actually buying the thing or you don't have the means. Don't go blaming us.

Careful how high you hold that nose in the air. It may start bleeding.
