Basically a belt driven HKS turbo
running 6psi, dual auxialliary injectors. HKS went this route because they saw the writing on the wall, it's getting damn near impossible to get a turbo kit to pass CARB and every state is adopting CARB specs in the next few years.

It does look a pretty kit, but the only thing really making it look so different is that fancy carbon engine cover.
75BHP??? I'll put money on it being mega expensive as well.
No doubt the quality will be good, though.

Yup, expensive alright. For only est 75HP, it will MSRP $6,000 according HKS at the show. But hopefully 75 is not true.

IIRC, the rep told me that they saw 75whp gain over stock. And the price would be around $6k, as the others have said.
Also, this kit includes a small intercooler. I will post a pic when I get them all fixed for web viewing, if someone doesn't do it before me.

Wht so hard to get the Twin Turbo to pass the CARB test? The only significant issue I can think of is the cat light up time. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the issue.
