Yeah sorry Savage, realised it was a daft question when I asked it lol if you weren't Apr who else were you gonna be. So the 310 figures revo and Apr quote must only be on optimistic dynos then?

400 will be a handful but I know a few mk2 cupras running close so it should be just about manageable in ours.

Very optimistic Dyno's! If you look at most dyno figures they show the stock car at 250-260 which I fail to believe is correct. Plus the 310 figures they show will be run on the highest setting with race fuel and probably in optimum temperatures, wouldn't surprise me if some rounding up went on too ;)

My car at stock showed slightly over 230bhp which you'd expect.

That's some really impressive power gains. The torque is phenomenal. Mine feels like a rocket ship with 412NM, I can only imagine what another 100NM would be like ;)

Really impressed by the intercooler tbh, it was 315 and 500 without it so it's good for an extra 20 of both it seems

Got mine going in as soon as the intake is released from VWR. Might throw the intercooler in too.

Will post the dyno graph once it's been fitted. Will be interesting to see how it does on Stage 1 software with better airflow. Will get an idea of what the Downpipe & stage 2 does then.

Dont know where abouts you are in the country savage but I'd be interested to see what it makes on the same dyno. Shark is a wvr supplier too

Definitely have to get a dyno run sorted once you get your intake then buddy. See what's what :smiley: plus if that intake is as good as it seems I might have to get one, might even make another 10 bhp :smiley:
