Pleased i found this. i was speaking to chris about this on friday when i was having my V10 map. It would be very interesting to see what figures you get with the V10 map and the intake as I'm sure you will see even better figures! how is the intake now you've had some use of it?

Would certainly be interesting to see the results of the intake with the V0010 software, although with the impending arrival of the R I'm not sure Mr. S is going to update the software, which means you'll need to convince the missus she needs an intake Dan :laugh:

What exactly does V10 of the software change? Haha, well I'm often near you Chris so might be worth me popping by one day if it's any good! But yes with the arrival of the R due in September it does make it seem a little pointless!

The intake is brilliant still. Nice sound that's not too intrusive/loud and the car breaths much better and it's some nice, linear power gains all the way through the revs. :)

Chris will be transplanting the R600 intake into the R when the Stage 1 gets applied, he just don't know it yet :D

Didn't want to start a new thread for this question.

Ordered a R600 with the turbo inlet, was wondering if anyone know what lubricant should be used on the O-Rings on the turbo inlet elbow? Would rather make sure than use the wrong kind and let them disintegrate. Assuming just multi-purpose synthetic grease like below?

Ideally you want a silicone based lubricant which won't swell the rubber like a petroleum based one would.👍
