Good questions.
Why am I so secure--because the good outweighs the bad. The clip usually comes with a start up warranty. If something is damaged in shipping, you call em up. Venus is good about helping
Tools needed--basic tools. Socket wrenches and what not. Jack, jack stands, screwdrivers. I think the biggest socket we used was 24mm. voltage testers would be nice. Wire cutters would be good.
If your engine needs a rebuild you are SOL. I dont expect an engine to have off the assembly line quality. Why. The last R32 was made in 1992 I believe. So at best I have an 11 year old engine. Again the good outweighs the bad. Lets say this I paid 1200 plus 636 shipping. 1836. NOW, say I need a rebuild....that is at most 2500 in my area. So I can, if I WANT, PAY 3336 FOR A ALMOST BRAND NEW TURBOCHARGED ENGINE. Take a KA...2500 for rebuild...THEN 3500 up for a turbo kit. DO the math. MY engine is going to get rebuilt maybe at the end of next year. If you think there are too many if's, then this isnt for you. Get a KA-T. Why do people strap turbo kits on 14 yeare old KA's?? without rebuilds on some of them. The risk is the same. If your engine wont start, do some searching on the forums and in your engine. Double, triple anbd quadruple check all your connections. If you find a problem, call up the importer. I did the swap myself with a friend. Not too bad. took us from a Monday late afternoon to Thirsday afternoon. Long hours, but worth it.
