Inukai,
Whats the alteration?

Those turbos have been out for a while. There is
a R kit for the FD, Im not aware of the S having a
kit for the FD. It would probably be special order
anyway...

a td07 doesn't even compare to the size of these, plus you looking at about 2500 for the kai

Jason sure you're not thinking of the regular HKS T51kai? Sure you're talking about the new Ball Bearing model ones?? Which is what these guys are talking about...

I will take a picture... I have to go to his shop on the 1st to drop off my car for a good fixing so I will take the pic then..

So this is a dual BB turbo right???
Do they sell it as a kit over there?
Or do you have to buy the KAI kit, then sell the old one and bolt this sucker on?

The manifold or the downpipe I have no problem with, its getting the turbo, doing all the lines, etc..
