I might wrap the intake & under side of the heat shield with DEI gold tape.  Not the prettiest but extra heat reflection.

Nice mike,alot of people are going for this intake lately(including me next month) @ Aks tuning
So the rear heat shield is an extra to buy?

Had the intake on for quite some time now, only just got round to getting the front shield fitted.

The rear heat shield is additional.  :happy2:  Alex at AKS made & painted it

1st time I'm going to have used the intake (and car!) in real anger in a while this Wednesday  :driver:

One of the later revision PCVs.  Used to run a BSH catch can but it was a bit small and wasnt a great fit.

Id consider running catch can again, like the the large Forge one Alex uses.  Probably when I get the intake ports cleaned.

Looks good mate. I was gonna run a catch can on mine but was told there's just as many cons as pros so didn't bother.

I had my first track day on Thursday and loved it. So much so I've got another one this Tuesday lol. Really need to see about upgrading the brakes tho.
