Thanks Kanga...I will definitly look into all options. I am full steam ahead saving and bunus time will help too. At the moment I am just getting all the strings of info together and trying to cut as many cost corners as posible, then after compare costs of various options.

If the supercharging does pan out if I can not get Alfa in my area to help a bit here and there as they might due to the industry I am in. You see, my company makes verious products for Alfa, notibly the instrumentation clusters, as well as for major companies such as Subaru, Honda, some Toyota, Triumph...various others, so I may try to pull a few strings here and there and see what happens.

i have just had work back from Jano-san, so things are begining to progress. He has been xtremely open minded to various options and the turn around time is MUCH less than I thought which brings other expenses down. As I said I may be able to pull a few lucky strings and have some favours come in - which means I will owe back in return, its worth it though.

So far the turn around time will be 3 days, which is total fitting and testing.

Parts will be delivered to the dealership and I may get them to carry that cost because it is tax claimable for them and they get Jano's expertise for 3 days of basic training. Win win for them...and Jano.

The kit is as slim said:
Fr/Rr body faring designed around better flow for cooler runnings and more air intake.
Fr/Rr Adjustable - lowered suspension
Vented / uprated brakes
19" OZ Alloys and Tyres
ECU remap
Exaust units and associated parts
Supercharger unit and associated parts.
fitting

YES PLEASE....!!!!!

More investigating the total costs and comparisons though...so this is yet just a budget/plan stage, time will tell but even my wife is pretty excited - yeah, I dont get that either, she LOVES Alfas. Perfect match there hey
