Don't forget that you need to add shipping, VAT on the shipping and the possibility of getting whacked for import duty (another 4.5% on top of the VAT).

Once you add all that on, it probably isn't all THAT far off the UK supplier price, without any of the difficulties of what to do with it if ever a problem arose while under warranty.

I'd take the power gain claim with a pinch of salt - it's unlikely to be noticeable, whatever the dyno tells you.....

I think a number of people (me included) toyed with the idea of the Fujitsubo but never actually went as far as getting one. They certainly seem to be well thought of among American owners though.

$695 for the system and shipping to the usa,
Company called Iship will get over to me by boat for $90

add the VAT and 4% import tax, this is very good value
