Now waiting for the new manifold, or at least that was the last hold-up. After that should be there. Hopefully ready for the VX rolling road day at TMS!!

We've bought 2 mani's with a view to adapting them to suit the car more and the Milltek will have a custom downpipe to the Milltek system.

the standard exhaust manifold flow is poor 
the dbilas looks a lot better
but the 'Weapon R' style 4-2-1 is the way to go

Sounds like the throttle bodies are getting more costly by the minute. Hope I have a chance in hell of being able to afford it

You probably will be able to buy a basic kit with none of these extra components.Sounds like the throttle bodies are getting more costly by the minute. Hope I have a chance in hell of being able to afford it

Any news on the Throttle Bodies? I saw them in the flesh and almost wet myself
Or is this not likely to be available in the short term? If not I will just buy myself an ITG to tide me over...

Car is back with us next week for some remedial work. Turns out Ian scar has been running with 3 our of 5 exhaust valves broken......and it STILL made 160bhp So we're getting quite excited by it all.

I know originally the anticipated costs were going to be less than for the S/C kit from Courtenay. With the extra work that has had to go in for extra cooling are they going to be more comparable now?
Or are there still going to be different levels of tune as previously indicated...?
