Now, if you do like most Nitrous users and use the better part of your bottle for purging those cool white clouds at stoplights and hamburger joint parking lots, go ahead and at least double that cost. I think you guys and your $360 are forgetting about those little niceties like remote openers, bottle heaters, window switches and all those other little things that you need in order to make the bottle work right and not eat your pistons with a little fuel hiccup.
OTOH, y'all keep on buying those bottles. All else being equal, I feel better lining up against a bottle than against another turbo. Oh, and even better if it's a bottle and a manual tranny. But that's another story.
You're so right...Now I don't play at all. LOL I never purged my lines with a purge kit. I always did it in the burnout.
Kinda helps to eliminate the issues of overpurging.
I don't have a "window switch", remote bottle opener, bottle heater, or anything else...and my kit works just fine.
I never had any fuel hiccups though. I made sure I was running the way I was supposed to. Basicly, I READ and FOLLOWED the directions included in the kit.
Of course, if you can't read and follow directions, then you shouldn't choose EITHER kit.
Now, with YOUR math, it would take 3 years to purchase a "real" turbo kit. i.e. a NEW kit. Not something that was cobbled together with crummy welds and a used diesel turbo which will leave you wondering if it will hold together while you're running it or not.
A person COULD get a nice Paxton supercharger also....Thats another option which has been forgotten and brushed under the carpet in recent years.
If you have time to wait to save the money, get a turbo or a super charger. OTOH....If you want to go fast...NOW...Then get a NOS kit and have it on by the end of the week...for around $360(assuming you install it yourself).
