Dennis is right,

Here in OZ turbos are much cheaper but also very common. That's why I
developed my own SC using a Sprintex unit, it's individual. Whilst still in
development the results so far are excellent. When the development is
complete (hopefully soon) I'll post the results of the dyno and on road
testing. If anyones interested let me know and I'll point you in the
direction of where you can get the same kit.
