Superchargers

Buying the kit is not a major problem.
Current KB price is $4,999 for the intercooler kit.

After customs you'll be looking at roughly £4,400 just as Mick said.

Installation is a bit involved and should take a couple of days, including the intercooler and all the pipe work.

Most important thing is to get the map right as already pointed out.
Some have successfully done a self-install, some didn't go that well.

So £4,400 for the kit, say £1,600 in labour to have it done + £500 for the map and your're looking at £6,500 without any profit for the installer.

Add the time and money spend to develop a safe map and £7,500 - £8,000 is a justifiable price.

As said, some have carried out the conversion with success themselves, others haven't and ended up with expensive repairs.

Thankfully there is a choice and it's up to the individual to either install themselves or go the tried and tested route.

BTW. Pro-charger will be a struggle to fit, if possible at all.
