Default RSK04 Turbo kit pricing adjustment.

<center><img src="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/products/awe/rsk04/rsk04_fullkit.jpg"></center><p>This latest shipment of turbos came direct from Borg Warner. Since our pricing is better when buying direct we can pass the savings to you.

Our last round of turbos came from a BW distributor overseas. Since he knew he was the only game in town, he put the screws to us.

Have a great weekend!<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=4&amp;PEI=6&amp;PP =s4_27t_drivetrain.cfm&amp;PPT=Drivetrain&amp;IL=r sk04">AWE RSK04 Turbo kit</a></li></ul>

Will you sell the turbos and inlet pipes by themselves, or do we have to buy the whole kit?

Default Depends.

We will do it, but it depends on stock. Sine we have an ample amount of turbos we can do it.

If turbos or any other piece of the kit is low, we like to sell the entire package.

As of right now we are short on one of the inlet pipes.

Default Because...

These manifolds are VERY labor intensive. If we are going to do production runs of these, we are going to make sure it is worth our time.

Default I'm sorry, but 3k for manifolds, REGARDLESS of what car they go on, is way too much.

Maybe an occaisional odd engine with super wierd configuaration, or a flat engine...

But still, a V6 engine, with 2 smallish relativly simpple manifolds. 3k is just dumb.

Default Hamburg-technic can make them!! Praveen will be in charge of mfg.

Of course, they'll fall off if they get hotter than 350F ;-)
