Stock for all but MkII, and re-build kits are about $60. Not an easy job, better use a pro. The 7" MkII Tiger unit was also used on the Alpine Series V, but the actual boost ratio may have been diffe

Removal of the Booster does make a HUGE difference, just try by passing it and then hook it back up again, there is a tremendous change, obviously it has to be operating properly. I do not suggest r
