There has to be more than 20-30 'cuz I add TBKO + SRT + PFS + PHR + Toyomoto + one off kits and I estimate it to around 50. There can be a lot more, but I'm just guessing right now.

I think PHR did 7-8 of them. I think SRT did 13-15. PFS did 15-20? Toyomoto did 15? TBKO did 5?

It would be nice to get concrete numbers.

Isn't that just the people who post on the boards? Plus a few have built their own turbo kits. Again, people from the message boards. I gotta think that theres a few more floating around that do not post on the boards.

mr who,

Yep, you're right. I'm just doing a wild estimate based upon number of people posting they have a turbo kit + 25% more from each tuner. Anyways, if anyone can get numbers from each tuner, that would be great so we know, using facts, what is the most popular turbo kit to date.

I think 80-100 is kind of high, but hey, I am probably wrong. If you can get some data on PFS and SRT kit, then that would be great since it seems the bulk of the turbocharger kits are being sold through these two companies. Again, it's just an assumption on my part.

I had heard of quite a few as well that nobody knew about but in reality it was probably less than 5. Don't forget, Lance has been kicking out kits for years now. He's probably done almost as many as the others combined.

You're probably right. Oh hell, I'll just email everyone and get some numbers. If I get a response, cool. If not, oh well.
