    Plus all the kits are imports, from the US or Japan, and with the weak pound, expensive.

    why do they cost so much?

    Because people don't like buying second hand tuning bits and would also rather pay a premium for someone else to do the engineering for them.

    I've got £500 quids worth of secondhand and home made turbo bits on mine, and I'm very happy with the reliable 160bhp it makes. Although I can totally understand why people with more money to spend would buy a new kit.
