Stage I Kit Release in UK

I just read a couple of articles about the JCW kit being released in September in the UK (I think it's the UK).

They both talk about a 4 hour install. I guess they're upping the time to accomodate the long flash times. This might make it tougher to negotiate a fixed 2 hour install when you go to haggle with your MA (or risk a bill for 8 hours it takes to load the ECU or reflash).

Or are UK hours like gallons? 2 of theirs = 1 of ours.

They all do...
  • JCW air filter system
  • Stainless steel exhaust (with less restrictions as compared to the stock unit)
  • Exhaust manifold (for operation at higher temperatures)
  • Turbocharger air filter air guide (to allow better cooling)
  • Modified engine electronics system
  • Activation code for engine control unit (specific to VIN)
  • JCW emblems for front grille and tailgate
  • JCW engine badge with serial kit number
  • JCW certificate of authenticity
