Csq,

The kit is going for around RM15k last I heard. No need to reduce compression as the M43 is a low compression engine, anyway it is a light pressure system to improve drivability and not for winning any drag trophies.

Huh ? That's cheap ! This place in Jln.222 (Elegance or something) quoted 26k.

Mosselmann will bring the power & torque of the M43 up to only a stock 325, I think.
