I have the utmost respect for Kevin and his work . Plus, he seems like a stand up guy. I will shoot him an email and consider the options.

Lot's of factors to consider here. But the fact that CG is local to me and the fact that CG/RS-Tuning is a much more recognized tuner here in Europe (at least for the time being), which will help resale value a lot compared to UMW. I'm not saying that UMW is not top notch, I'm just saying that in Europe in general and in Sweden in particular, people are highly suspicious of ANY modifications done to a turbo unless it's a complete package done by a highly respectable and recognized tuner (RUF and RS-Tuning probably the only ones who qualify over here.. Well maybe SHK as well..).

I am still willing to consider any options. Havn't looked at FVD since the price is pretty much the same as CG/RS-Tuning and I can get the CG 520ps kit installed by my local representative, hopefully with a warranty as well.

Trying to picture what would be a ballpark amount of hours for an independant Porsche dealer to charge for installing the new turbos, new cams, setting cam timing etc...? Anyone?

Any input very much appreciated. I love discussions like these.
