Time for more updates.

First up, the return of the ITG Intake, all matched up to the APR 3" MAF housing





Has made a noticeable difference over the APR / K&N kit that comes with the Stage 3 turbo, throttle is sharper and the turbo spools just over 100rpm sooner  :happy2:


Then the reason the car have been away for the last 10 days, a new 3" full system with 100 cell CAT from Milltek, designed purely for performance so has straight stainless steel pipes without fancy trims







But this is no ordinary system as it has active valve to control the noise for the track days with lower noise limits



Vacuum tank and solenoid



I am finishing the electronics side of this at the weekend so more details to follow on the valve technology  :innocent:


Just as soon as I have the car back it's off to APR again to finish off the Stage 3 mapping and to resolve the final running issues, so really can't wait to get it back and then it's off to the Ring  :driver: :driver:

Steve how's it work, is it automatic or can you vary it manually? If its automatic, will it not still be on full throttle ie full open giving full loudness on track when you are flooring it?

It's electronic so can be configured to always on, always off or to open at certain RPM or MPH  :happy2:

Who needs fancy trims on an exhaust?

IMHO that looks better than one with trims.

Looking good, inspirational.

That looks like the shallow back box so wouldn't be seen from behind giving that "full nappy" look.  :smiley:
