on the quick drive home it only showed a 3 deg differance between inlet air temp and outside air temp so very happy :O)

[evogeof]

how much was it???

 

[evo arm's m7960]

£99 + £15 post and had to buy 2 , 3" to 2.5" reducers £20 pair of flee bay :O)

already had the hard pipes on the car the near side fitted ok but had to cut and move the off side a little .

i just put a link on the first post :O)

[evogeof]

bargain price that is

 

[evo arm's m7960]

thats what i thought :O)

and if it didnt fit i knew i would be able to sell it on :O)

i think its lucky i dont have aircon as that might have been a issue as i had to trim the bumper as it is to get it in .

Nice

 

[evo arm's m7960]

thanks guys :O)

always trying to make my little 4 the best it can be on a budget , got to love flee bay :O)


next question should i leave it silver or paint it black like the old one ???

i did like the black one but would be a shame to paint it ??
give it a couple of days to see if the silver grows on me ...

Any difference in spool at all, looks good tho well worth the money as the car was running very hot on the dyno

I keep thinking about changing my cooler to black, but then I also think that if you have a bigger cooler the you should show it off

hi mate not been on a very long run yet but so far so good am seeing inlet temps of only a few deg c over the out side air temps . "sensor before the throttle body not manifold temps " and that driving quickly :O)

it dont seem to have changed the spool at all and if any thing it seems to drive nicer off boost than it did before .

but need to wait for a hot day and give it a beasting to see how good it really is .

i am going up santa pod at the weekend for jap show so we will see ...
