Nice, you got your tune.

How are you liking the intake? Told you it was pretty noisy :)

I haven't seen those fit pc's before, that's pretty awesome.

Did they say your clutch and shifter were ok?

Cobb SF Intake for the win...

Got the tune, drives awesome...
I knew the Cobb SF would create more induction noise but didn't know it would also create a noticeable noise on recirculation.
**Love the induction noise, hate the recirculation noise.** :?
I'm looking to suppress that noise anyways.
Clutch is good, I'm thinking of putting a heavy duty clutch & short shifter in around February/March.
The Car PC project will be slow but i will eventually get there...

The bumper scratches are from the previous owner.
Not too sure what he was trying to do...

"Shame about the rims"!!??
Couldn't justify the price of the rims plus I really like my rims; just have to be super careful when parking.

Start the next owner on his way to a black and white theme?

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Yeah, that's why I took it off. That bov sound just comes flying out.
How does the noise suppression work?
Wouldn't something in the line have the potential to restrict air flow or and up in your engine?

When I go bigger turbo way way way down the line I might consider going back to pod.

Cool, nice power for mininmal mods!
Your dyno graph confuses me though. Maybe it is just my biblical hangover, but i cannot seem to get to 181kw at the wheels from it.

You're right, the graph was a little confusing so i made a few changes & added a second graph. :D
More important than Kw is Nm & that you could clearly see before...
