and probably the reason the kit is a lot in Bahrain is the the exhaust cost
if you leave the stock manifold on it and fit a decent catback of at least 2.5" diameter with all straight through silencers you'll still hit 270Bhp on 93 and 260 on 91
we hope to have the uprated bottom end for sale about March time

1- Yes Bahrain guy (Kar performance shop) was going to install the whole thing 2.0+1.3 + his labor.... But that brings a question of WHY the re-branded exhaust+ Thermostat + drop in filter + of the shelf tune is so freaking expensive?
2- I 'wanted to go Cosworth way since day 1 when you released stage 2.0, but the lack of solid numbers + the lack of dyno numbers from the consumers made me hesitant to do it... till today my eyes are at Cosworth kit... but I'll be honest, I don't have enough facts that justifies the insane cost. and I asked a while ago about if there is any validated data for stress testing this kit in extreme weather, I didn't get any.
I thank you again for your proactivness in answering my questions and for being so transparent.
