I agree you'd have to be brave to try to get through the red tape to import an Si, but it was supplied with a EPA-legal Ford Mustang 5.0, so there should be no need to pull the engine, right? I know they are street legal in Switzerland, and they are the California of Europe (super strict emissions requirements).

Charlie:
The GTSI in question is in Germany not Switzerland so some further differences are in play. Also, I am reliably informed this particular car has a modified 400 hp Cleveland not the 302 which vastly compounds the problem of smogging it to 1990's standards. If you have seen the mass of equipment on a US Amerisport GT5-S, none of which is readily available today, imagine the time, expense and trouble in finding someone to design and fabricate it. And if, in the end it dosen't comply????
