To be honest, I haven't checked into it. But I'd imagine the prices are very similar.
Tempting, huh?

What a great number! Congrats to Proto!
Divexxtreme! Can you ask Todd what is its 60~130mph number for modified VTG turbo? Thanks!

It is. In my old age, reliable bolt-ons are becoming a much more interesting option than full out builds....

Oil lines/coolant are more complex.
The exhaust work is nearly identical
The intake work was no fun, having to integrate a recirc system where the vgt's had it integral with the turbo. We'd like to use our Ypipe and put the maf's/air filters in the fenderwells like on the 996tt's from now on and use our intercoolers and full intake system for even more efficiency.
The dual pumps and huge injectors make that part very nice though.
Of course, we got hammered on the first car, with the development, but we'll hopefully start making some of that back on the next few. We still have to fixture up the intake components though. So, no kits yet.
This would be a great system on a GT2!!! And it appears that the power will continue to where ever your pucker factor will allow it to go on a stock block.

HoustonT/It seems to depend on how well you take care of your baby... On High qualtiy fuels, the reliability is much higher than on pump fuel... I think 600awhp is pushing it on pump fuel, especially never knowing what you're getting out of the pump. MS103made the 700 really simply, but even then started showing some slight knock activity at 6500-7000 rpm's, so C16 would be a no brainer, but is leaded. The cars we've seen survive the high power levels have all been on 103, C12, or C16. The people that like to push it on pump fuel have engine problems. The compression ratio is just too high and with the advanced camshaft movements, there's an incredible amount of torque available in lower rpm's where it can really do some damage on lower quality fuels.
Treat your car well, it'll give back for a long time.

See you in Texas!
