    I liked the instant power mine made but it would just roast the tires in 1st and 2nd. The heat it made also was incredible. I called 3 major tuning shops and all 3 of them told me to sell it and they didn't even want to tune it. I sold it and haven't looked back.

    The 4.6 2V kits looked to have also dropped, may be next.

    Yep and not a damn thing mentioned about discontinuing them. I just thought it was an overstock blowout kinda deal...

    Wow that is news.

    They aren't in business any more. But I remember a company in Michigan that would sell the KB compressors for almost cost. 2.2L compressor for $1100 and when I got the new design 2.1L I got that for $1000. While KB wanted double.

    Hutch is right though. Not too many wanted to tune these.

    I was looking on corral last night and there a few nice kits for sale. I know you didn't want used but now it looks like you don't have a choice

    That's because most tuners are afraid to hit the Sample button below 3000RPM. I know someone who could accommodate this but even if that fell through, I'd toss on an Extender or a PMS and do it myself.

    To show you how to keep head gaskets in a boosted junkyard street car with no tune.

    Thanks for the heads up. I've all but talked myself out of a KB at this point.

    Yeah so much for getting replacement parts now if you own one of these. That sucks - I was considering experimenting with one of these to check out the difference between a centri and direct.
