ordered my rebuilt KDV-14D from the guy on ebay that vxorado found and got it today - took it to the guy who welded my new cat on and he put it on and charged the system up no problem - works great and the engine runs smooth and quiet could not be happier
side note: the guy who sold me the compressor was reluctant to send it because he said his parts book told him that it would not work on my vehicle - i told him as long as it was the one he had pictured it was the one i needed so he sent but he still didnt seem to be too sure thati knew what i was talking about - have a feeling this scenerio might play out more than a few times being a vx owner
