Red face Turbo too f'n expensive, wen does it end

3500 hundred for a turbo.. man, for what??? ya know

I mean u got ur headers dp's exhaust, sportlines, internals, turbo, then you have to go to the interior, sound system. but once ur finally complete with everything ur still dissatisfied, ur windows aint tinted enough or your exhaust aint loud or its too loud.. then u wanna go bigger or shinier.

when does it all end. I'm not criticising anyone. Me myself has this addiction. every pay check, is do i have enough to do somen to my car... and i do it, if i had the money to buy a prostitute, im talkin a hott one, or a turbo, i would get the turbo. I dunno whats wrong with me..


i love my mods on my car. I love it when people turn their heads when they hear my vibrant exhaust. I love to eat the turns with my sportlines. But i still need sway bars and shocks. And i still need more air to be pumped through my exhaust, cuz the k and n just aint doing it for me no more, so i want that turbo..

****, and these people, these vendors know this. and they jack **** high as ****. and whats even worse, labor cost as much as the ******* part.

turbo is like 3500 and i knwo its gonna cost like 1000 to install. and yea id have someone install cuz i want it done rite and i dont got the time nor energy, cuz im wowrkin to pay this **** off. and i dnt do credit, i cash everything .

am i off, wrong.. someone set me str8

For those who just need the power, turbosystems offer the best power per dollar spent of ANY performance mods. So, in essence..the most economical option of all!

But it's like anything else...if you can't afford it, it's just not even a subject of discussion.

sry guys, i suck at typing, i tried to go back and edit most the ****. im 19, i couldnt afford the s/c so i planned on ls and adding **** to it. since like 2005 and my car is a 2007. i worked hard just to buy the car. now its just like, **** it.. but it just sucks it is so expensive.. and little things, whats the ******* point of giving the ls 4 lug instead of 5. little things like that. i dnt think 4 lug matters, till ur trying to find a wheel that looks cool.

what the **** MR. HaHn.. i can afford it.... why is there like no one prasing your system, i look everywhere. they prolly like it but hate the fact they paid 3500, when in a bit of time ZZ is comming out with a twin turbo that they wished they bought.

I look on youtube, theres like 2 videos. and one called it a baby turbo. Your price is rediculous. I could ****** buy it. everyone here could buy it, but they dont want to spend 3500 on a system that they dnt know anything aboubt cuz not many people talk about it. Hell mkurley installed ur system and next thing u know his car was on a to truck.

dnt be like, that i can afford it. and when ZZ comes out, i'll spend my money well on somen worth it. I'm glad u could boost the car to bout 200, sstill short of the sc.. ZZ claims are well above that.

so mabye u should go work on that

stop dumping money into the ls. cas can be huge money as you now realize. the way i see it is buy a car with more than you think you will need and in a long while you will realize you have everything you need but then you want more anyways. thats when you start adding money/parts. i've had many different cars and no matter what car it is you will ge bored and desire more out of it.

thats pretty damn disespectful to talk to hahn like that. i haven't been here too long but i know he and his company have helped members that haven't even bought their products and those that have spent some money with hahn put out good numbers with quality work/products. if someone has an issue because their car is on a tow truck then let them take it up with hahn or whoever. its not your place to use somebody else's experience to bash a huge contributor to the cobalt world becuase you want hp but don't wanna pay for it. i think you should apologize to bill and hahn racecraft, and grow up a little.

I hope you know my car was on a truck for clutch problems..not hahns kit *******. Hahns kit are TOP notch i love mine fits like a glove no problems. Next time, before you bash one of the most respectful vendors on this site. You may want to read into your claims first before you post.

Also there expensive because there built extensively well with safety in mine. They have spend thousands of hours designing there turbo kits to fit perfectly and run without problems for the life of your car. Apartenly you know nothing about design aspect of it . Turbo kits are perfect for someone like me who does not have the time or know how to peice a kit together, have no worries about it not fitting right and have it be very reliable.
