well it only matters if he sells it to everyone for a lower price, and if that was garms intention I'm sure it would be less at his site. My numbers are from me averaging everything out. There are intakes for $400 for the yaris and maybe not everyone wants an afe intake. You don't need pulleys but you have them and you know it helps with power gain because a supercharger by it's self wont put you at 130whp. A DC header is about $260. All you seem to be doing is nickel and dimming everything so a supercharger looks good. You could easily just buy the hks kit for $2600, get a custom downpipe made and buy an ebay intercooler and only spend $3400. Either way cost is the same. Right now a turbo kit takes more time because there are only manifold that are premade for our engine.

I bet you if garm was selling a turbo kit that came with everything you needed for 4k and made 180whp you would say turbo was better.
