I agree, TDI North do know their stuff. They have built at least two high horse power turbo S2000's in the past couple of years and they have lots of experience with other Honda models as well.

SOS is the best! :-P

On a serious note I got quoted £1,200 to have my kit fitted by them which included mapping.

I went elsewhere :-)

SOS is the most reliable.

Hundreds/thousands of S2000 around the world with paxtons blowers on. Simple to install and easy/cheap to rebuild.

Read in the FI forum then decide.

The only downside is the system weights more. But that was a compromise I was willing to make.

And the kit itself is more robust than the TTS stuff in terms of the main supercharger bracket is that strong you could bolt your house to it. The crankshaft pulley is a straight replacement rather than having to get yours machined for the TTS one to fit and there are no known issues with bearings / pulley failure.

Yes, the TTS charger weighs less and is supposed to be more efficient than the SOS set up but purely going from my own experience to date and reading about the issues others have had if I were to do it all over again I would choose SOS everytime.

Mine was brought in to the country via DMS when they were still going and I bought it from Greg after he had done just 1,500 miles - similar to the one that David is offering you.

I am guessing that many of the pictures are no longer visible as Dixon is no longer a trader on here.

Ellzy also has the same kit and he imported it brand new from SOS in the US.

My kit was fitted by my mate Ron, aka Ultra_Nexus

As above! The SOS kit is awesome, and not to mention their customer service is also spot on! I would highly recommend buying direct from them, i would also agree with the others, TDI north would be my choice if i lived up that way!

If you need any more on the kit, shoot me a PM !

thanks
