1) Are we allowed to a different air supply then the one provided in the kop?

I think Katie answered your question pretty well about 7 minutes before you posted this in your first thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=34258). The answer is: No, you can not use a different air supply than the one provided in the kit of parts.
