as opposed to the standard one MY99 on my rb5, it could just be the colour but it looked a different shape, i was comparing with a P1 owner. He recomended it but i thought i'd ask you guys if you know anything about this????

The inlet manifold is about the only bit of the original engine I'm keeping, so clearly I don't think it is going to stop me making 450 BHP quite easily
