Bluefin first then once the exhaust is fitted Superchips will send you the appropriate map! :wink:

Thanks for suggesting I contact Jamie, Nathan. I'll be ringing Superchips today to do a deal on a Stage 1 :grin:
I’ve been deliberately avoiding all the threads about re-mapping up until yesterday when the vortex that is the Bluefin thread sucked me in for almost 3 hours. I’m about 6 feet from the top of the slippery slope and my left foot is lodged on a K&N panel filter. Trouble is if I reach down and grab it I will fall another 10 feet and land painfully on a "Cat Back Milly" that’s sticking out from the edge and ready to catch me by the wallet…
Must cling on… need more grip… resist…. RESIST……. :scared:

....I can help you with a suggestion of a mod which may improve your 'grip' but not your grip on reality:
It's an alien spaceship and its occupants communicate via telepathy: Modify! Modify! Modify! Resistence is useless!

I'm fairly sure VWR run most of their cars on an uprated panel filter in the standard airbox, however this may be down to regs? They certainly don't seem to suffer because of it.
Carbonios and like are just engine bling, an induction kit with a decent sealed airbox is the way to go. I run a Pipercross panel on stage 2 and it's fine, I tried a friend's carbon bling for a few days, pointless.
I also have Jonny's old intake. I ran that for a couple of days and it makes a good difference to the mid-top end, I went back to stock just to prove to myself it wasn't just the placebo effect and I noticed the drop off instantly. I'm just waiting on it to be slightly modified to run a 3" ITG foamy and it'll be rocking the Inter's strip!.
A DP however makes a HUGE difference, there's no point ramming more air in if you can't get rid of it fast enough too.

Oooh, those Alien's are really Quaife quite clever. Thats very different technology to ours. :scared:
