That's not my point. The Full-Race kit is fucking awesome quality, but $3500 for any turbo kit is rediculous. The materials to actually make that manifold are probably like $100 at most.

drag kits, rev hard kits, and edlecock kits all cost nearly 4k. hell, even the greddy kit does once you get the intercooler.

if you're going kit way, the FR is the way to go. The only thing it doesn't have that other kits have is hack job fmu's for "fuel management"

engineers don't work for free bro, yes, raw materials probably don't cost nearly as much as the price of that manifold- but factor in labor, all the overhead they have, and all the R&D that went into it, and they have to recoupe some of that money someplace
