You are learning kev. Yep probably best to have a remap as fueling will be all over the place.

Get a Green Cotton Panel or similar and a smoother flowing air intake pipe. Best you can do for the moment I would say. Be careful around the MAF when you are changing any of these parts as they can be fragile and they are expensive to replace.

stick with pannel unless you're going to go for a front mount and over about 400bhp. If you really want to go for one then as above get it mapped.

Does anyone know if there is any published information on the benefits of the TSL version of the GC filter over the standard one ?

tick tick tick.... boom?

E6tony,

What level of "fine" does it run? I assume you have had a set of det cans on it and a wideband lamda to check the fueling?

I guessing from your post this is not the case, if so i suggest you either get it checked and then mapped or you start saving for a rebuild.

And no im not trying to scare you before you ask.
