LoL hate you.
Anyway, good luck on the build. Should be a lot of fun.

Generally when working with a project like this, if someone says the lowest it could likely be done for is $15k and the most would likely be $30k .. you'd better have $22k readily available. There is always project scope creep on these sorts of projects. What Andrew is stating is very true. If you're not ready to put down like 25% and ship/bring the car to the shop then its likely you're not ready for a project like this. This is not a HPF Kit, or a ESS/AA Kit. Its a one off build. That turbo manifold is not a cast piece, Shawn can't just replicate it..

I can tell you what I am ready for.....videos. Some of us here have some change in our pockets and wouldnt mind spending but we need video documentation...."proof of boost" if you will, Dont forget to do this whilst holding up the most recent local news paper. After that we can talk about the ransom :-)

everything after " " was meant to be taken lightly btw

Are you financially ready to purchase this? Assuming everything is ready to go from the shop, showing you 450rwhp and 320rwtq and the shop is ready for you to drive down or ship the car in a week or 2?

[Z4-VILLA]

Actually just about ready and set over here....NA is obviously blown out of the water, CSL (waste of money), Its between this and ESS, Which considering the huge price difference and marginal gains on the Turbo set up vs ESS is becoming a hard choice. I put a lot of effort into my Jet Hot Headers lol. IDK if anyone remembers that thread jacking :-) but yeah its between Lutz and ESS...... Mentally Im prepared to wait for dynoed results by the end off Febuary. The only thing that will delay decision making will be if HPF hatches an abomination sometime between here and then. Which will OBVIOUSLY be less than 25k for a stage 1. Hmmm......

[ZStig]

so you STILL don't know what you want, and don't have cash in hand. Got it

[Z4-VILLA]

Why would I have cash in hand when I have money in the bank? :-) I suppose if I went to the bank and made a withdrawl I could have said cash in aforementioned hand. Unless you thought I had it stuffed in my matress, which would fit my demographic, but this aint the 80's.

But Yeah Im good for it.

Why are we still talking in stages? I thought that trend died years ago for most, well I guess for me it did at least. IMO there's two options, stage right, or stage wrong lol If you would like to "stage" our setup, or what we quoted you, consider it with a built motor stage 12, that's what's needed to compare from others

[A4RingedONE8T]

Or better yet, boost controller setting 1 = stage 1, boost controller setting 2 = stage 2, setting 3 = stage 3 yada yada, all with the push of a button. 2 second upgrade, thats the shit!

[Beedub]

come on villa!!! its time to put up or shut up!!! get this car over their for this to built up!!!

[Z4-VILLA]

Im about to eat to my hat....

I am not here on weekends but I can surely meet you over here anytime. Let me know when might work for you!

Here's the last few days work, I think this is revision 3, maybe more, I forgot lol

Sometimes I think you're just building stuff because you can. =)

Everything I build, regardless of it's purpose, has to be done in a way that challenges me, it's just the way I like it. There are many paths to the same outcome with a lot of this stuff, I just go with the one I think looks best in my head. Taking another path may be quicker or cheaper, but that's not usually me. Trevor and Marcus have been a pleasure to deal with from day one, regardless of the money being spent. Their excitement with the project and their attitudes towards the car, our shop, and myself are more satisfying to me than any amount of money. I feel they deserve 110% of what I can do and I am going to do my best to give it to them.

Is the picture of the unit sitting in the trunk just for contrast ? I guess what I'm saying is....for reasons of safety, in the event of collision, all fuel related zones are to be exterior only...right ?
