I am not sure if that is the manufacture that sells it. It is made in Taiwan, The manufactures that makes it send an email to me offering these headers. They told me the price is NT36000 which is roughly about $1100 plus shipping from TW.

BTW, Yes they are the same headers.

I'm from Taiwan, so i can read the description. 1 US = 33.xxNT(New Taiwan Dollar) This seller has ZERO feedbacks, so I would becareful. I'll send him a e-mail and ask him more about his header for our 1.8L Kompressor, see what he has to say about HP gains and stuff. I'll update once (or IF) he response.

I'm very interested... especially since these headers have longer runners so hopefully they won't show more of a powerband gain than just a high rpm gain as with the other 'shorty' headers people are developing.

I'm actually interesting in a package deal

Renntech pulley (or Carlab pulley)
NGK LFR7AIX plugs
Good header

That's all I want now.

Looks like i'm going to be able to place such an order from carlab in 1 month ? (when the headers are finalized and 'project X' is complete
