Kooks Twin Turbo

[Voltwings]

The GTx bearings are very sensitive, without the proper banjo bolts, too much or too little oil can cause issues. Turbos are just like cars, if you take care of them, they will take care of you.

Ah I was literally about to post a thread about this myself! I was more going to see if someone could explain or justify the $3k price tag difference over the arguably comparable Hellion TT kit (leaving out On3 and CPR since there are enough differences).

From what I see, quality differences are no silicone elbows (all piping bent properly for straight connections), pre-made oil feed and return lines, AC line, less weird loking wastegate placement (more hidden), and mounting bracket to move the battery further out of the way. While the choice in stainless steel may be better, the “lesser” kind used by Hellion (Bassani) has a good track record. While Garret turbos are expensive, Precision turbos used by Hellion aren’t cheap either.

Anyone have any solid justification on why this kit would be this much more?

I took care of mine but they still put me into a wall :banana:

I've seen this in person at PRI and I will say it's a very very high quality kit -

Click here to see it

Agreed. Saw this kit at SEMA...Amazing.

It may be expensive but, you can't beat the quality.

See explanation below...

Well we all know that Kooks makes some damn good headers, and their quality is top notch. So couple that with their own design and inhouse production of 304 Stainless turbo headers along with most likely a T6061 high grade Aluminum intercooler, and Garrett turbos, there is the $10k price mark right there.

^ That isn't really justification, but thanks

^^^^^
Well, it does state the differences in components and materials between the two kits. What 'difference' or 'justification' are you looking for?
