can I take it from that that the Z20Let ECU can manage both AMM and MAP?

Not sure whether it will, concurrently. I assume it will/can but wouldn't swear to it. Would be interesting to see whether it can support a TMAP sensor as with the OEM superchargers in the States.

I think they can write the AMM out but Jon really wants to use it as it means they will be able to map part throttle response much much better than they can with just a MAP sensor. That's one of the things he is really looking forward to as a result of the conversion. Maybe there's a 90mm Bosch one of some hyper Audi, or similar.

yes, it uses both AMM and TMAP sensors

The best filter for the money on the SC car is by far and away the Pipercross. Lee and I have one each with no issues at all , Joe_589 is getting one and I can supply for £70. Want one? No, you need one. Good for 500 BHP, easy to clean and much better than that old bit of stocking you had hanging around in your side pod.

C7009 I have always used them in my race cars and they have always produced fantastic results. ITG supply some of the greatest race teams in the world and they are all foam filters. Give me a Pipercross over a gauze filter any day. The Pipercross' have a supportive metal cage in them so will only collapse if you sit on them.

If you want one, tell me now before I put the order in.

I also have a length of silicon hose that goes from the throttle body to the filter, I'll chuck that in for another £15.

OK so it was a LITTLE bit dirty :rolleyes: and needed changing, I noticed the comparison test didn't have a Pipercross filter. will it cope with the suction of a large S/C? Might order one for safety £70 is nothing compared to the cost of not having a quality one
