Irv---The company that bought out Kas' shop back in 1985, here in
Gardena, Ca., went belly-up shortly after buying it. Kas told me he had
to foreclose on them to recoup part of what was still owed him.
I don't know the particulars of what went awry, but always suspected it
had something to do with the emissions laws that were passed about this
time in Calfoirnia. Recall that the turbo did not have the C.A.R.B.
exemption, and trying to get one was cost-prohibitive for anyone but
giant companies.
Those that bought one of his "kits" before all of this happened are
allowed to grin!

Kas Kastner's old company, Arkay, used to market a turbo kit for the

years ago, before he went to work for Nissan. Irv Korey
