because many people that go this route can't afford an sr-swap, do a 1/2 ass job on a turbo kit install for their KA (because say a kit costs 1000 or so compared to 3+K to do the sr). and end up blowing their motor because they didn't do it right.
there are some well done KA-T's from people that take the time to get the right parts and many with EMS's. One of the good things i can say about those that blow their KA...you can get another for dirt cheap from someone that did an sr-swap.
personally, i'd love to pick up a second car and do a KA-T in an s13. Turbo 2.4L would be sweet, lower redline but that's alright, the more torque will cause the powerband to shift slightly to the left anyways. mmm, drool
