Hello to my Canadians friends!

I'm in Montréal, and I'm really interested in going ST. Does anyone know what is the best way to get a kit in Canada/Quebec without paying the absurd import fees and taxes? Does anyone have any experience they could share? I'm interested in the Speedtech kit, but paying 1000-1500$ in fees is a big turn down.

Thanks if anyone can help or share their experience!

Which version of the kit did you order? How do you like it?

Top mount garret gtw 3884R ball bearing very happy with the turbo, for being a single it's pretty responsive on a manual car. Only thing I would improve with the kit is the turbo feed lines, the silicone on the oil and coolant lines started deteriorating after 2k kms, maybe some heat wrap would make them last longer either way im planning on changing them out for AN lines in the near future. Build quality on the kit is great everything fits nice

Also the tial waste gate is worth the extra money

Any problems with o2? I know the bottom mount could eat through them, but no idea about the top

I couldn't tell you, I ordered 4 new ntk sensors for it because that's what most people said they've had good luck with but they were dead out of the box and my 02's were cooked. I had a set that had 260,000 kms on it that I threw in temporarily and bank 1 is starting to be a little lazy so I'll be putting Bosch 02's in it next. I wouldn't necessarily blame the manifold as the sensors have so much mileage on them but I'm sure it does contribute to it. I guess that's just the nature of going single and having 02 sensors pre turbo lots of extra heat. The new sensors will have warranty so I'll swap them over whenever they do get cooked. Not to bad to get to them just have to undo the oil drain and their right their
