Once the car is off warranty this is a no brainer...if you can get it for around 5-6000 €!

I'm hoping Kraftwerks or some U.S. company develops a system in the $3-3500 range. I don't feel like paying JDM tax, but it is what it is.
I wonder how much power could be safely gained with the S/C if a water/methanol injection kit was added...

That looks like a special version for the race car:
- No AC - Water/Meth injection near the TB - BPV vented to the atmosphere - Intake relocated Also, for some reason the TB has been relocated further forward, or perhaps that is a larger TB with an adapter. |

This thing is going to be stupid fast with any kind of forced induction. Just when I was starting to have second thoughts... DO WANT!

For me the 86 is meant to be a daily driver, so removing the air con is a total fail.
I was thinking to go SC on my old Clio 172 but there was the same problem, all the kits put the SC in place of the aircon compressor. |

Removing the A/C on a street car is not my idea of a good kit.
