Cheers Mark,

TTE are obviously feeling the heat from all the aftermarket kits which are on sale now for the Roadster
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Hass, PE, HKS, and C2 Power.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
These kits don't include the extra chassis stiffening that Toyota do, but with Corky brest plate and some TRD strut braces you're there for
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£500ish.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The price they quote of 5500 Euros is
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£3,700, and I assume the usual caevat applies that you'd have to take your car in person to TTE in Germany to install it, and leave it with them for a few days

-factor in another 600-800 for
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
travel and accomodation, and maybe some laps of the Nurburgring
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
which brings the price to just under
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£5k.

Ouch

The other downside is that they
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'only' get 189 bhp out of the engine which is very conservative
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I know you and Sean have seen 250bhp which in a sub 1000kgs car is a huge power/weight figure.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Mine is running at 220bhp which is roughly the same power/weight as my old tuned Mk2 Turbo, and certainly plenty fast enough.

If warranty and TUV approval was a big issue
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(eg you live elsewere in the EU where its a legal requirement
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
) then I could see the kit having value
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- but personally I'm very happy with spending

£3k on an aftermarket PE turbo kit and getting it fitted
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- you get better performance, and keep

£2k in your back pocket for other modifications
