:blah:

The fact is that KA-T’s are stereotyped because people take their 150xxx km motors and do no work on it, bolt on their turbokits with mailorder ecu’s and think it will last when they beat the hell out of it.

Cheap, reliable, fast - pick two.

A budget of 1000 will not get you a reliable KA-T - either save more or don’t drive hard. I’ve put in hundreds hours of research of what to do or not to do for my KA-T setup. [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org), Zilvia, Nicoclub will be your friend.
