Default Boost District 2650 install

I want to get the 2650 installed but the $5k nonrefundable deposit is an issue. It's basically a money grab and unnecessary. If they have a wait list to get these installed then they should not be out any money if someone cancels.
I guess I'm going to wait for the ECS option.

I agree…….thats a bit excessive.
There’s no doubt in my mind a lot of these builders are thinking this guy has a c8 so it ain’t gonna bother him in the least what we do with his money.
Prices are still way to high to add force induction to these things.
When I did my c7 about 8 years ago I had like 6k in a procharger system that added like 160rwhp.
Im thinking the same that this ecs kit is gonna be the way to go. And I hear nothing but great things about them guys. Don’t think you can go wrong,good choice.

I would be double hesitant on this considering I've been reading online of customer orders not having been filled OR refunded after complaining for many months! Look up their BBB ratings before even THINKING of giving ANY "tuner" your hard earned money in advance of any services rendered. (non-refundable deposit, GTFOH) lol

Thank you! Very kind of you. I non refundable deposit does seem a little unsettling.

I did the same thing to my 08'.

If the ECS kit is reasonably priced, they will sell like hot cakes. They will sell in volume and get their name out to more people.

We shall see.

I drove out to Rosh & did a test drive in his 1000hp Z51. The reason for the $5k deposit is so many people would take up spots for install & no show costing him a lot of money. He is a very nice guy, has great tuner on site now with Christian that relocated from Trifecta. Boost District warranties their work & holds many C8 records.
if u dont go with him go with Lingenfelter for their 2650 kit which BD uses.
If I don't get the GT4 Cayman I'll have BD & Rosh probably TT a Z06 or Z51 w/their heads/cam & Lingenfelter 2650 kit. If got the $ do a 7L 2650 kit but that would be beat out by the TT C8 Z06.
it's your $ your car your call. Just giving you info
