![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? Still doesn't explain price difference! Or the fact your charging customers thousands of dollars to fix your install mistakes.(binding waste gate control rods, and improperly wired fuel systems, misadjusted viens) Have seen this on more than one of your install kits. If your going to copy a kit and charge more than original better be sure it works, or someone might start a thread and expose you. Chose to compare your kit to Cutlers because the pieces not included in picture are Cutler components aren't they?

![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? I have been researching turbo's this year, and they must have come down in price abit. I have seen them for around the 4000 US range. They are fairly close to being the same equipment, and the price includes everything, (with the exception of the litre of oil), the clutch upgrades, guages and mounting bracket, pipe etc. etc. If I could suggest, you could check out Silber Turbo's, Justin Silbernagel from Minnesota, he returns calls and e-mails, and he's more than happy to talk and share information. Just Google it. Another one is Twisted Turbo's. Shain Stanger is the owner. They are built in Western US so they are tested at higher elevations. Twisted Turbo's are the ones in the Thunderstruck Sleds, Shain is a member of the team, as well as the Krazy Canadian has one on his M8. Check around, our dollar is fairly strong right now. Good luck |

![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? From personal experience from MM 6500 will not buy much. For an aero 53 turbo for a M8 MM charged me $11,000 for a system that was not set up properly. I am at presently spend another $ 4000 to fix to this turbo kit properly. (Not at MM) Sent the turbo to Steve in Utah, the turbo was set wrong from day one which explains why I had no top end. Fuel pump was wire wrong, could only use 3/4 throttle on a turbo sled. last year was not a go year for sledding. |

Dan has his own series of vids now. both Dan and Shain are running twisted kits.

Actually the price differences you have suggested are $5500usd verses $6500.00 cdn............... $5500.00 with exchange rate, gst, duty etc would almost equal $6500.00cdn, so what is the problem????

![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? The stage 1 kit is more comparable at $4000. So add another grand for exchange and customs fees still $1500 on the table, just about cover cost of install. Also that kit works, yet to run into one of thiers that does.How about Sir Js sled twice back there, and still came back with basic install flaws. (and a bill each time)Thier comeback that not all components are pictured isn't really saying much in thier kits defence is it? Local Cat dealership making good money fixing reoccuring problems with kit. If you want top dollar you better produce a top quality kit, otherwise this stuff happens.

![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? Problem is they're asking premium price for a clone kit that lacks in support,R&D, and the backing of peoples product they are reselling to consumer. Big Dawg's kits come with Turbo Docs experience and backing, Boondocker,OVS, Twisted each have thier own people. This kit has no one or else such elementary mistakes would be remedied after first kit, and not turned into repeat occurence. Just saying BUYER BEWARE. Nice paint job doesn't mean whats under it works. And yes Dawg your kit worked fine everytime I was around it.

![]() | Re: Turbos what does $6500 get you? MM are selling a low turbo's system for a high end price and have not clue how to trouble shoot problems when they arise. Trust me I paid the price for for pick an incompetent vendor. They like to take your money every time, but never solve the problem. I do not mined paying top dollar for a good product and service, but top dollar and turbo's that has never worked right, then I have issues. Bottom line do not make the same mistake I did do some research and pick vendor that will back his product and does not ask for money everytime they can't fix there problem, but promise you they are the expert. ![]() |
