there are plenty of threads on turbo, superchargers and the kinetic turbo kit on here . Use the search box. That kinetic turbo kit is just for LHD..as far as im aware.

Kinetic kits have a good rep in America. I like their manifold a lot. They cut corners with the turbo though imo, but it's a good kit to get you started. There will be some issues fitting on a RHD car, but they're not difficult to overcome :-)

Ah just the man i was lookin to speak to , just read ur thread and was very impressed ,seems like ur very passionate about what u done to the raddo !! Have u seen all that comes with the kinetic kit ?? is that pretty much all the components u need or are there more bits and pieces that would have to be purchased elsewhere ?? This would be my first time doin any kind of engine work an i feel i could be a wee bit out ma depth but i have friends who are a bit more mechanical minded and are willin to pitch in , i know it wont be easy but should be worth it in the end :-)

Is yours OBD2? That is a minimum requirement for the Stage 3 kinetic kit. If you are OBD2, then happy days :-)

The kits are pretty much complete and bolt-on in the US market, but yours being a RHD car, some changes will need to be made. You may not even be able to use the supplied downpipe as it will probably fould the steering rack, so you'll need a custom one. The brake fluid resevoir will need relocating aswell, and there'll be a few other minor bits and peices to over come. Hard to say exactly what at this stage.

C2 Motorsports are currently developing a UK specific kit, so might be worth dropping them an email to see how it's going.
