you will have to pay customs most likely when it arrives in the country.

The kit doesnt include the tank, thats an extra cost and then there is the hassle of fitting it.

yes it will work out cheaper than having it fitted, but what about certification?

I believe you can get it inspected for around 60£ ish...

There are tanks listed on the auction, although the biggest one listed is only 53L.

Its just £405 seams damn cheap, even if add on all the extra bits, would come to around £550?

True, but if your mileage is high, would re-coup that very quickly

Most of the SGI systems seem to be OK but prices are cheaper in Poland as wages are lower.

It is cheaper to buy OMVL injectors new there than get them overhauled from the UK.

he strikes me as a possible scammer, being that he's only sold 1 item, at less than £10, other feedback is where he's bought stuff... cheap

this tends to be the easy way to build a feedback score IF he were a scammer

could be legit tho
