You should ask KO if they export to the UK.
You should ask us if you should "invest" your time and money into the KO equipment. :-)

Valid point haha

Well what is everyone who has had the K O supercharger kits opinions? They really worth the money? Have they given any reliability issues? My car is on 171,000 miles and it still does 141mph (on the clock) but i don't abuse it everywhere and all the time, just when the mood takes me...i use the car everyday! I think it would be able to handle the extra grunt of the supercharger, I will do some compression checks etc first though.

Cheers

Dude...read this thread. It will answer all of your KO questions. I can't believe you took the time to search and then couldn't read the thread or at least the end of it.

The photos of the supercharger looked like crap!

Go For it....someone needs to test out the new 2009 (no changes from older model) KO supercharger. Why bother reading the sticky on it. No one here has one working so get one and let us all know how it goes.

JP is the owner of KO and he lives in South Florida so you can do a drive-by with the "AK" after you get screwed. You will need a rental car cause your ti won't be running with a KO kit on it

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

Go for the Downing Atlanta kit, its more expensive but ace quality and easy to fit.

DA export to the UK, i got mine about 4 months ago. You have to pay courier charges and duty, all up just under £4k

it mangles your standard clutch and your engine needs to be in good shape
