Let me guess, you’ve either recently gone KA-T or maybe thinking about it?

Anyways, here is the complete lowdown on KA-Ts.

The thing about going KA-T is that the word cheap is ALWAYS put into the equation for some reason.

And as that old saying goes…Fast, Cheap, Reliable, pick 2. It’s 100% true.

99% of the people that I talk to wanna turbo their KA because it’s “cheaper” and it’ll be “faster” than an SR.

And what does that leave you with? 3) An unreliable car.

Then their KA-T blows and their setup is worthless and gets sold for $600 - $800 to the next kid…while they go to Varun and get themselves an SR motor this time.

What does this mean?

They just spent HOURS + more money and ended up with an SR or maybe RB20 (Since that’s the trend now?)

Meanwhile, next kid buys that KA-T kit and blows his motor…and the cycle continues.
