Indeed but so far it's not going to plan. My map was slightly custom but it doesn't look like APR have released it to the dealer :-/. Hopefully sorted before I return home

Shame that hopefully you get it sorted soon! I just need a Loba pump and a visit to Awesome, then I can test the limiter for myself :smiley:

I was originally making room for a neat install of a decent size catch can. Quite a bit of associated pipe work removed so a little bit of weight gone. Could also have a big air filter on that side with shorter inlet now, more relevant to BT

Thanks very much, it's nice to know people find it interesting :happy2:

Just waiting on the Ultra racing under brace to arrive so it can be fitted and the fast road/ trackday alignment carried out.

Looking forward to going to collect it!

Did those extra undertrays make any difference?

As a complete package they made a little difference. Avg mpg would climb quicker & slightly higher on the same autobahn journeys.

I got them discounted though and did ally of motorway driving which made it a better value for money mod
