This looks to be a purveyor of the Mosselman turbo kit.

Has anyone here done any business with them? What kind of price range should I expect for this?

I can tell you only that those are Mosselmann kits.
and a dealer from denmark sells them for the equivalent of 5924 dollars, I don't know how much them will cost in USA...

Thanks. I've emailed them so I guess I'll be patient and wait for a response. I called Korman Autoworks and they quoted me ~$7500 for a kit + install. Apparently, they MUST do the install and don't sell the kit as a stand-alone package.

If I can figure out how to fab the intake manifold. . .i'd be set. . the t25 turbo is only a few hundred dollars.

I do not beleive they make them for the ti anymore. I'm assuming out of order means PERMANANTLY.

I could be wrong on this but thats what i thought...

With that money I'll build a hybrid m42/4 turbo with 450hp and lot of torque check HERE, he built it's manifold with a MIG welder and it's making 4xx hp
If I only had a TIG welder... Make a log style manifold is not difficult, it's the equal lenght that scare me. The T25 is just too little, if you will do it, buy a revisioned T3 60 trim from ebay and you will have same power of dasc without too much lag issues and with "little money" (otherwise there are GT series turbos).
take a look at honda forums for FI, because basically we have same displacement as they, they use FI everyday...

I never would have thought this kit cost more than a DASC

So for comparison I have about 30 hours alone in fabbing just the down-pipe side of a custom turbo setup. It costs way more to do right than most folks would imagine ,The whole thing gets tig welded and it has to be out of .120" wall Stainless tubing if you want it to last. ..... Heck theres about $300 in custom braided lines alone for the water and oil for the turbo. Then a nice AR matched T03 is about 600 new. Custom header/exhaust manifold takes time as well. I'd expect 250 to 350 hours to build the whole thing engineer and install it. its very time consuming.
Also for the RPM's these engine run, you need a 3/4 ish inch drain to the engine from the turbo and it can't have more then about 90 degrees of bend in the whole length.... Wastegate and Blowoff/bypass valve and turbo intake tubing, intercooler it all adds up. Add a boost controller (If you want a reliable setup) and you nearly another grand.....

But I still want it.....
