Bailey. Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Shipping is probably £400 and taxes probably the same again! It does start to mount up for quite a basic kit! I want it so bad but feel I still have so much research to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it so bad but feel I still have so much research to do! Shipping £400????? Pfft, I'll get it for you if you like? I could get a return flight for that. Can't see it being that much, £150-£200 maybe, £400 is just madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Really, I've had some crazy quotes, I thought I was being very fair at £400??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Really, I've had some crazy quotes, I thought I was being very fair at £400??!! Ask them. I find that a lot of people will quote you crazy money when they don't really ship into the UK. These guys are sending their kits over here all the time so the costs will be fairly reasonable IMO. I was quoted £300 for a set of alloys as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 You do realise the turbo kit is a small part of what's needed, ie ECU, clutch, fueling, cooling etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey.

But as I said start big and work my way down wards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) If you are interested I could probably gather up enough spare and leftover parts (but minus the turbo) to get you a 90% copy of my setup with the 4" DP like this.... Drop me a pm or email if you want to discuss. Failing that I can always help out with any issues you come across when putting your own kit together...a few other people have cast kits too like Heckler, Wez and MikeB so there should be plenty people here to give you advice Watch out for the PHR street kit - last time I looked it came with a 4 bolt flanged connection between the turbo and (3") downpipe which would make a turbo swap a little tricky without extra fabrication efforts. No big deal if you are happy sticking with their turbo though. Edited October 2, 2013 by dandan (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just a word on the Arnout version after contacting him about a year ago it was no chance unless i wanted about 20, he wasn't interested in ones and twos, after that the second best deal in town is the Treadstone one which is a copy of the old Turbonetics one but with a bigger wastegate area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
