I'm letting go of my 2 month old Greddy kit with less than 3K miles on it since my sponsorship has different plans

In addition to merely buying the kit with intercooler, I had my exhaust manifolds "Jet Hot" coated and port matched, polished my Greddy Type S BOV, welded it in place with the aluminum flange (about another $200), custom stenciled "Greddy" on the intercooler, and had Kenji reprogram the kit (which was sitting in a warehouse) with the latest software & firmware. Add all these costs and it can get steep . . . especially when you tack on $2K for the install. PM me if you're interested; I'm sure your loan will cover it & probably the install

Oh, and it also has the ignition harness w/ diodes (not installed) and I stand corrected, the kit is only 1 month old. All in all, there's about $600 worth of upgrades / customization to the kit. Assuming you'll pay $5600, that's a $6200 kit. I have a local person looking at the kit and the asking price was $5100 (in this case, that's without shipping).

$5100 is firm, yet fair. The kit is scheduled to be taken off on December 15th (when I receive my company car) and I invite anyone to take a test drive

Even if you don't want my kit, please purchase from an authorized Greddy dealer. Most vendors who wh@re out the kit, buy from a distributor, who bought it from another distributor that bought it from the dealer / Greddy. My kit, which came from a local shop and was purchased from a reputable vendor here, used the old wastegate gaskets, had a misprogrammed emanage, and was missing various parts. If it were not for my sponsoring tuner shop (who is an authorized Greddy dealer and now, a trusted friend), I really doubt Greddy would have overnighted the missing parts and reprogrammed my emanage within a few days (for free). Greddy knows which serial numbers were sold to whom and will not directly warranty anything not purchased from an authorized dealer. Should you try to save a hundred bucks by buying from an unauthorized dealer, ask yourself if $100 is really worth the extended downtime associated with backtracking everything through the supply line. I expect it would cause more than a week delay. And for those of us who use it as our daily driver, that means a big headache and possibly lost income (for us sales reps--Sherwin Williams Baby!).

Here's pictures of the vehicle and install:

When bought new, the kit only includes the emanage from the above items.

I am including the BOV and perhaps the turbo timer since my alarm system will take over that feature . . .

OK...here are what I consider the manditory initial elements for a successful Greddy kit at STOCK boost levels..

1) Greddy kit with FMIC
2) Greddy Ignition Harness with Diodes - allows you to retard the timing safely
3) Greddy Profec e-01 (boost controller and eManage Programmer)
4) A GOOD quality boost gauge (NOT autometer)
5) Wideband AF Guage (AEM or LM-1)
6) Test pipe
7) Exhuast system (Greddy EvoTT or any other good waulity exhuast should work)
8) Walboro 255...only if you plan to increase boost

And then at this point...the sky is the limit.

The APS kit "doesn't" come with guages, test pipes or exhaust, but it does come with all the other stuff , plus a slick FMIC and hi cap oil pan. Also the Turbos are water cooled BB Garret units.
