if you buy the fueling kit for 2650 from AWE and buy K04s from ECS for 2650, that comes to 5300.

when AWE sells the whole kit for 6300, thats $1000 savings.

(assume all parts in stock and ready to ship)

Default Because it comes as one complete kit.

In theory if it all fits perfectly and mixed/matched ECS-AWE requires tweaking... $1,000 gets spent really quickly on a $90/hr. mechanic.

Now if the ECS part is truly interchangeable, then AWE needs to lower its prices.

AWE said they just can't get KO4's for what ECS does but $1000 is a big difference

k04s and k04 inlets are the same no matter where you get them from.
