Cheers for the comments guys  :happy2:

I am really surprised by the difference these mods have made, the car is just at a new level of awesomeness on the track, the feel, balance and cornering speeds it can reach on a (dry) track is just unbelievable now.

Full review and proper photos of the new AST suspension will follow shortly.

A big thanks to Kevin and Pies at KPM Racing for truly taking the car to a new level  :notworthy: :notworthy:

It's good, from the quick logging I have done there isn't much gain in the peak airflow but it feels better and seams to have less low down lag like the original ITG.

Also the enclosed filter will be better for intake temps too  :happy2:

Thinking about getting a Redtop 30 when I come home in a few weeks.

Would it fit okay in OEM position?  I cant make out what's needed for the terminals, I'm sure a call to tweeks will clear it up.

*edit

Just found dimensions 250 x 97 x 149 L x H x D But its chucking it down so not going to measure OEM space yet  :sad1:

Yes it will fit in the OEM space but you will need a new bracket to hold it down, it uses bolt in terminals rather than the round posts so you will need to modify the connections.
