That is the shield that both Ty and Glenn have, I've got the link and to be honest it's not that much new.... either way I think it's the way to go with a shield fitted. I'm getting there now Dean in my mind
I prefer the RCM and a heat shield to the Cosworth mate, The Big K&N in RCM kit looks awesome Probably work out cheaper aswell...

The RCM cone is definitely the best one available, all the best cars have them.

Yes agree with you completely Dean

The next thing is I need is a quality cone to go in the foglight with a flexi pipe into the wing.

I had these links posted on another thread for me to check out...

Why not get a foglamp surround from a WRX and connect a hose from there into the engine bay?

Look OE plus you do not have to cut into your foglamp cover.

Like below Ty ? I'm not sure if that's the look I am after as I do like the look of the cone as Red has on his tbh. Plus there's the cost of a cover and painting it, it's an ideal job when you require other paintwork but I've just had mine done so missed the freebie boat. I may have a look though to see if there is a cover about in the right colour because at the right price it would be worth giving a go because I could always change it then if I wanted easy enough afterwards. Thanks though as I had not realised it was a wrx cover

Worked very well on my Foggy, it seems the Japs love them on their massive power Supra's, GTR's etc and they have been around a while. Cost does not always mean the best.

The secret is too agree with Jarvis, even if he's nearly correct.

I go for the RCM filter because the quality is brilliant and I know the designer, and the principle behind the trumpet section which smoothes out the air flow.

All filters are equal, but some filters are more equal than others.

Let's try again !

Basically I've made a final decision on the exhaust and about ready to order so that parts sorted.

As for induction the other option apart from RCM is to build one from components myself, with some great guidance from someone with a lot more understanding than me I've a few things to check out before making a choice. The air intake links given me seen good gear even when you look on demon tweeks or the other subaru sellers its all near the same so will probably go with the links.

So exhaust, induction and ecutec tweek should turn it into quite a capable drive.

Depending on what turbo I decide on should be somewhere between 470 and 520bhp... I'll be happy if I can get just over the 500 mark on pump fuel, always got the option to go a bit further with a splash of meth

Yet to order the exhaust I'll wait until early next month as I've just paid my insurance but I'll be Completing the Milltek set up by having a full system fitted.
I'll be ordering the trumpet and pipe work tonight for the feed I'll message you the links later Ty..

Spot on Dean impressive future figures

It only took around 3 days after purchase to arrive in the UK, it then took around 5 days to go through customs clearance.

Another 2 days with Parcelforce (you have to pay the customs clearance fee and handling charge before they will release the delivery - they send you a letter requesting payment which you can do over the Internet/phone or go to the Newport PF depot and pay in person and collect your delivery).

Sorry the response is a bit late.
