As much as you think that everyone is going to buy a turbo kit as soon as there is one available, you would be suprised at how many people will buy one in a 3 month-6 month period. The worry on his part in making the kit is spending a bunch of money on parts and making kits (and time and effort) and no one buys them or sells an extreme low amount of them to not even make a big enough profit in the long run.

You gotta think about that from his point of view...

im not saying a whole bunch of people would buy it as soon as it comes out but over the 1st year of it being available im sure he would make an awesome profit, me and my best friend bought cobalts with the idea of turboing them as soon as the kits are released he got the 2.2 and i got the 2.4, we cant be the only people that think like this and will buy the kits can we?

You could be right...but...you, as a company, would have to be taking a major risk AND you have to also think "These are the same people who bought base model vehicles...why would they save $4,000 for my Turbo Kit?"

I'm just trying to give a full perspective of the situation and enlighten people who might not understand why there isn't much support for them.

I know a lot of 2.2 L and 2.4L people want turbo/Superchargers for their cars... You should make some of them and run test on a 2.4L and 2.2L so we know what we are getting before we buy em
