This is a little bit OT question.I know the turbine is brand new,but I can get it for 2200 euros from modellbau pollack but I can also get P160SX for 2800 euros.Is it worth giving 600 euros more for jetcat or kingtech is good?
AdriFly, its difficult if not impossible for us to help you to make a purchasing decision, but here are some facts that I could share:

JetCat 160SX pros:
1) respectable brand name quality with excellent reputation
2) a good 3 year warranty
3) proprietary ECU
JetCat reps are welcome to friendly inputs

KingTech K-170E pros:
1) higher thrust
2) a limited lifetime warranty
3) less expensive
4) Taiwan and US diesel compatible

Other than that, both turbines use appropriate materials, brand name German bearings and world renowned fuel pumps.
Perhaps, go with what you feel most comfortable, most of us turbine manufacturers back up what we sell and offer a great support. You have definitely done enough research, perhaps its time to put something together and start flying soon before the summer is over.

Good Luck,
Barry
