DIY, maybe 400 clams. Kit maybe a lot more.

Kits save time and energy and are great in that regard, but if you really want to have fun, DIY, post pics, and bask in the glory.

I reverse my opinion stated earlier. T is right: Building your own system rocks! I have spent the past hour reading Tapage's posts and googling "Turbos".

I am enjoying the education and an starting to realize there's a whole bunch of knowledge and experience out there!

I think there's a homebrew 2H install in my future!!!

's to Tobash, Tapage, and all of you out there who fabricate and install "power extraction devices"!!
