You could probably come pretty close to cutting the price of a kit in half if you can fabricate it on your own.

There is going to be just as much cost doing your own R&D manpower to create your own kit. I don't see in any way how you can "literally save thousands". Fabbing your own header? Ducting? Measuring clearances? Buying components?
Unless you are unemployed and free access to a supply of straight piping, CNC tooling, and metal bending equipment, there is no way you will save significant money doing a turbo kit yourself.
In addition, without tested and proven R&D, what's to say your homebrew kit will be reliable and work properly?
Nonsense
