Anyway, I understand the point. Though, as I said, I firmly believe a FS turbo kit would be a benefit for both consumers and FS, as opposed to a loss. Their reputation and known quality, not to mention their service and real, consistant communication here on FJ, help sway alot of potential customers into becoming actual purchasers of FS products.
If FS were to price their turbo setup similiarly to the FS/VF Eng. supercharger kit, and proposed FS Werks kit, they'd have a very competitively priced turbo, with a reputation to support it. The only turbo setup in its price range would be Tom's stage 1.

I'm talking out of my ass here as I obviously don't really know, but regardless...
I was somewhat intrigued by the fact that FS even announced the supercharger kit at all. It would seem to me that with the new platform, the Zetec market is going to wane if it has not already begun. Because of this I wouldn't imagine that there would be enough of a realistic demand for such an option, especially considering that most people seem to lack the ability to back up their vocal support for these kits with their pocketbook.
It is such a niche market when compared to the likes of Honda and Nissan tuning platforms. I just don't see there being much demand for it in the next 2-3 years.
I don't expect (and I'm not asking--it's none of my business
) anyone to confirm my theories at all, but it just doesn't add up to me.
I hope this is in no way taken as an attempt to say anything negative about them, because I think they're a good business. Randy & the gang obviously understand our needs and want to do what they can to meet them. That is a pretty big deal in a capitalistic society such as ours and I think any business/businessperson doing that should be appreciated.
