Turbos Turbos everywhere...except Breathless turbos?

It's great to finally see some competition in the turbo scene (and the lower prices). Is anyone else curious as to what happened with one of the original smart turbo kits - breathless performance?

Was there just a lost of interest in their product? No longer being sold? etc?

That's good to know. I guess there just wasn't as much interest in the marketplace.

I'm waiting until some of the more "full-package/power" kits come down in price.

You are talking about having the intercooler, performance injectors, computers, etc. Sorry, that is not possible right now.

Our lower priced version will kick a good punch but will not give you 150HP at the wheels.

Eventually it will be though... At $2000+ that's a huge chunk of change right now.

Right now our $2,000 version will give you 100 to 110 HP at the wheels.

I agree it is still pretty expensive, especially in this economy.
