Not sure if anyone on here has, but they do get a good write up on vw vortex. Same goes for PagParts. 
It wouldn't surprise me if the import duty and VAT brings the cost back to near UK prices.....
The 492bhp CTS-kitted S3 on their website sounds like it could be fun

For comparison
backdraft's 400BHP kit with 2871r works out about £5,000 inv VAT
CTS 2871r RHD Turbo kit is $4,185 Shipped
Importing from the us with 2.2% duty, 20% VAT and shipping works out about 3.2K a £1,800 saving

I think the duty should be a bit higher than 2.2% (ca't get onto the TARIC site to check at the mo) but not massively so (3.5-4.5%) but aye, spot on with that!
What did you spec in the kit?

yes, i know
and i also know its takes some work to fit
Cheeky to ask, but what am I getting into? Are we talking fowling of turbo on other components? Have you fitted one of their kits on a fwd 225 engine?
have a look on ASN... couple of S3 guys or more using Clays kit.
Its a nice kit and one of the ones I would use... BUT, do not think it "just bolts on" without needing mod all sorts of little things..

Will a gt3071R be massivly laggy on a stoke 1.8 bore? Looking at stroker to a 2008cc using a 92.8 fsi stroke on 83mm bore
I will have a look on ASN and see what's involved.

A 3076 is horrendous apparently, totally not suited to stock 1.8T.
4100rpm for a 3071R sounds alright, still gives you 3k+rpm of powaaa

Yes I was saying it about the 3071 and it's very important to pay attention to the A/R
