I think you have been lucky , just be aware that you could have to pay VAT (+duty).

PS. Nick , from reading your posts you are after RHD headers , I can get any size/type/application headers made in SS for £1200. Pricey but they are proper race type (not like the MDS (?) ones).

Hi All 
I agree with a lot of the posts here...looking at this thread,,,I could see at least 3 or 4 supercharger kit sales for 1 of the Sponsors of RENNLIST....I wonder why they dont have a UK importer and agent ???

Pricing would be interesting if anyone were to act as an agent. Factor in shipping US to UK, then UK to buyer + import duty and mark up to make it worth while and i'm guessing the price in £'s would be heading for that in $'s. The hassles of aftersales support if there were to be a problem?
Like you say Brett, there are probably half a dozen buyers who would show a serious interest - financial risk would no doubt be high without a BIG deposit!

Hmmm.but...if one of the big 3 was importing "second hand reconditioned units" ,I am not sure the VAT would apply....
That would save UK buyers around £600...
I would buy one for certain...apart from changing pulley sizes,I cannot see any after sales advice needed...hopefully lol
All the best Brett
