You can't really complain at the price, a lot of folks run them on here with perfectly good results. If you can't bring yourself to stump up the big bucks then these are a good option imo. What else have you done to the car? Are you prepared to have a remap to help get the most from it and other mods/help iron out potential lag from the greater intake pipe run? Yada yada

The car was mapped to that on the road with a prodrive chip , fuel air was spot on , yes i am prepared for a re map to suit the front mount but im not sure what to expect , are they gonna be able to work with my current ecu set up and chip or is it gonna be a complete new one and big bucks .

What is your car exactly? I don't know much about ecu's tbh but I thought the 'prodrive chip' was simply a standard ecu with an enhanced default map? That would mean that Ecutek etc can all run perfectly on it raplacing the map. Far, far more knowledgeable folks will be along shortly no doubt. Your ecu should be perfectly good for remapping with the few more mods you are adding on.

95 sti ra Well im not sure what the chip was apart from that it was prodrive , it was fitted and mapped by graham neale used to work at prodrive , rampage ,now does development work on new cars . he got it from prodrive he said there was very few left for my car. it mapped the full de cat etc no probs also raised the boost to over one bar which he brought down slightly on the actuator rod so not to hit boost cut . any idea what sort of cost i may incure to map the front mount .
