Why- I've had one of these conversions myself on my old RST and it was very impressive.
Reverse charge carrier £150ish
Setup/chip £300-£500
Intercooler ( I bet its one of NMS spec ones ) + fans to suit £300-£500 (been a while since I've looked at RST stuff)
Odds and Sods - Fuel, Spark Plugs, cut out bumper, plus installation etc £400 quid ???
Dont forget they're a tuner/garage and dont work for free.
I dont even know why I've given a breakdown- I am sure the chap will be aware what costs what as NMS will have explained.
Personally though I agree with the cossie managment comment above- gives better scope for more power/reliability/driveability at a later date. Popular and tried/tested conversion on RSTS.
However.. 200bhp is good and reliable in an RST after that you'll bust boxes every other week if you drive "properly"
