I appreciate what is being done for the s55 platform, but really want to know how you go to the price point. I come from a long line of boosted factory and aftermarket platforms. In a market where everyone is lowering prices to be competitive and “make” it, but you have a $9k price point. It seems like, let’s add a little of this and a little of that in hopes no1 will notice the “M Tax”. Again... my opinion but talking from my purchasing experience.

I’ve a breakdown of some of the best products in the market I have purchased in recent years

Precision 6266 Ball Bearing Turbo $1700 each
Fabricated aftermarket Manifold (Full Race, KLm) the fabricated manifolds run from good $800- best flowing $1500

A full corvette Twin Turbo Kit $8-$10k. Good name brand parts and includes: Turbo, Intercooler, Wastegates, Downpipes, ic piping, bypass valves, injectors,and supporting hardware

Even If I gave benefit of the doubt and these turbos was priced as my examples.... how do you justify this price? They are nowhere near your MSRP.

TIA.
