So yes, the SRT kit is considerably more but it also includes $3700 worth of extra components over the Club Na-t kit.


A club Na-t kit is about $2000 with intercooler etc...so add $3700 to that and you are at $5700, SRT charges $5995 and that includes a custom harness already trimmed for your application as well as the time it took someone to go through the whole install and document every step and provide you with instructions, step by step, to do it in your garage, that in itself is priceless to some people.


So...I don't think either kit is over-priced, you get what you pay for, if you have the ability and know-how you can use the Club Na-t kit to make a great budget setup and come in well under $5595. But...if your going to be swapping parts here and there and doing a head gasket and haltech etc...anyways..then the SRT kit offers you everything you need in one package...they are just geared to a different type of consumer.

Also, on top of everything macd mention, you get basemaps with the F10x, which is a big plus because tuning is the hardest part of a turbo build, whether you are doing it yourself or taking it to tuner who is other than a experienced Lexus tuner. Not to mention, if and when you get a hold of them, you get technical support from SRT themselves.
