Evan Thanks for the questions:
I understand you favor the bell kit, and it is a wonderful thing to have choices

But I do appreciate the opportunity to share some of the considerations in bringing a product such as this one to the consumer.

As with any project it all begins with a budget, and a question: What can be attained with X amount of dollars so that it will be a great product yet affordable to the consumer
Once those questions are answered, then comes the decision making: what components are going to receive the premium dollar allocation so that the best possible product can be assemble.

Here is where TDR had the great benefit of the combine experience of many TC owners as well as our own. (credit goes to them mostly)
We knew the things that really matter, most of them we had already replaced in our own kits or had been frustrated too no end with, so that those decisions came easy as a list of priorities.

I like to share a some of those priorities as perhaps it may shed some light as to why we did not consider spending hundreds of dollars on one part vs an other one.

So here are just 3:

-Materials: we chose to use stainless steel and aluminum, many times more expensive than the mild steel on the other kit, but seen the rust inside our pipes flaking off into our engines made that a top priority
-Injectors: our injectors are authentic Bosch and shipped cost $300 vs what we received $40 ebay mod injectors
-The Tial BOV retails for about $290 shipped Vs the plastic $69
-The operating system EcuteK license and tune $1030 included

So besides the many times more money spend on materials, we allocated $1600 to just 3 items because we know this 3 things are crucial.

Bottom in the list of priorities?
The things that were either not necessary or not important such as the aesthetics of the welds on the manifolds (mostly hidden down in the engine bay) or a inter cooler hundreds of dollars more expensive where the performance contribution did not merit a greater allocation of the budget.

We know we made the correct choices and produced a product that when compare apples to apples is a far superior product and value and overall quality for the consumer. Also this great value allows those who wish to expend more on their kit to do so; as I asked of you earlier on this thread: do you want a more expensive inter cooler? No problem as long as it fits we will add it to your order, do you want you shiny manifold? No problem we will sand it to a smooth finish and then ceramic coated and additional fee. ($350)

Now addressing some of your concerns.

Manifold solidity of welds and construction . Here I will just say that our manifold is as solid and as strongly build-ed as any race manifold should be and certainly many many times stronger than mild steel. Frankly prognosticating its failure is kind of weird, but regardless we stand behind our product.
Runners: Being aware of the improvements in torque afforded by longer runners, we opted for using all available space to make them as long as possible. Yes even at the cost of compactness or a conventional collector and aesthetics?

Variations on the Manifold: I use more than one fabricator. putting out 9 kits in 3 months is not a simple task, and regardless of jigs not 2 are a like

Down pipe. The 90 degree bend is not optional,it is a must if you want the thing to match the mid-pipe, so we had 2 choices: maintain a full 3 inches diameter as we did , or go for the narrower split small tube design as the current version. We are believe that maintaining the 3 inch diameter allows better flow and performance despite the necessary bend, granted not as artistic.

Welds on turbo/manifold; and extra measure to provide solidity to the unit. Not a big deal, don't want it, no problem. Do you want Inconel hardware we will gladly put it in add $50

Inter cooler: We begin with an cool air intake vs the other option so our charge is much much cooler to begin with. And besides, having documented AIT on both, I can not tell you that I have notice any difference. That is the reason I recommend my clients to save their money, but like I said, if you want to spend it, it will be our pleasure to add any inter cooler you like provided it fits.

So there it is, our kit is not perfect and will likely improve as the time goes, but we know we are providing the best value and the best kit available for the consumer, In addition the kit comes mostly assembled, it requires only the relocation of the battery, so that just about anyone one can install it. It looks clean and uncluttered, and it includes details such as spark plugs and Tap.
Best of all it comers with the tune and 24h support of TDR.
