Either way, I'm too far away from boostsville to be swayed by money.

The TT kit is interesting, but ugh...that manifold. Sorry, but I like simple, small manifolds more than octupi. (To give you an idea of my tastes, the Greddy manifold is the best I've seen, followed closely by the Treadstone one.)

WHAT! That TT mani is BEAUTIFUL! That was one of the main reasons I went with it!
And I wouldn't say the Greddy is a small, simple mani. It is tubular, just not equal lenght. Small would be ZPI or Dezod's mani's. All have their qualities.
I like that the treadstone is cast. I like that Dezod's is top mount. Greddy's is pretty. And ZPI's is very simple and effective.
But TurboToyotas is equal lengh...and...just LOOK at that beauty!!!

It's from the Insane Motorsports (?) upcoming kit. Let me find you the thread...

But I don't know the production status of it.

I dunno about that. The Turbonetics kit is only $5k, and people stopped buying that just because of the price. If Intense made their kit $6k, it'd either have to have insane performance, or no one would buy it.
After all, do the math. Figure $1000 for the manifold (cuz it's the sex), $1000 for a nice turbo, $1000 for the intercooler, piping, wastegate, BOV, couplers, etc., $1000 for the injectors and EMS, and $1000 for R&D and profits, and it's still a $5k kit. And I'm sure they can get good turbos much cheaper than that, so I'd imagine they'd have a 'starter kit' for around $4500 at most. But, we'll see.

I think turbonetics priced theirs high because there was not much competition at the time. Intense has the equal length, which adds cost, and a bigger turbo (I think) adds cost as well. I could see it being one of the more expensive kits out there.
