Sorry but not even close!
STS does advertise and sell a basic cheap kit for as you said about 2 grand. Problem is...
They are basicly short kits. You need Tubing and LOTS of it. To achieve best out come you need coated tubes. For the kind of power we were after you need Injectors. Oil pumps, and some alterations just to make it fit. Over 90% of the turbos they sell go on Corvettes. Not only because they have a calling for them, but being that everyone and there brother has driven a Corvette they have more than enough doner cars to practice on. For the tune alone we may and I say may have needed up to an additional 5 grand at the time.
