Absolutely crazy that you can only buy it from a dozen forecourts. Less MPG too, so more fill ups means it's not worth the bother. Our government is backward.
Indeed, for some reason ITB's @ 3.5k or BBPT Turbo conversion 5k(?) really just isn't a worthy investment for the return IMHO and the value of the cars. But £2.5k seems on the money for me, just thinking of getting a loan and sorting something out in a few months to cover it.

Personally I thought they were pretty good, got them on a groupbuy I sorted on here through Rimstyle though for £490 which was a good price (Gary @ Rimstyle maybe able to offer you a discount price). There was no issues that you'd not have with any other brand of coil for...
