    Not wide enough for the CC ultimate cooler. The ARE was effective though, just way over the top on price considering how much my scoop cost and it was new too.

    No prob mate yes it is costly but reading the website story a lot of research has gone in to making this a very effective direct bolt on alternative to the factory scoop I'm currently in the progress of setting up a new business and will have my own dyno so I'll do some of my own research and keep yous all posted on outcomes

    The bloke there told me exactly what Matt suggested, apart from the tune, inter-cooler etc... Definitely think about moving away from 3.9's...
    You might Change your mind ones tuned regarding diff ratio unless your towing a big caravan but time will tell exciting times ahead good luck with it mate

    Thanks mate. it's on the rollers now so will see how she comes up. I'll never tow anything so that eliminates that would be good to put the $ towards something else though...

    Made around 25 extra kw top end. Drive home, the power curve felt much more linear. Gonna go lug it up on the freeway now to see if she sings a different tune... Will report back.

    Boost now sits 16-17 rather than maxing out at 10 prior.

    Yeah it was. And its been back in again since, it was driving like it was but still on the smokey side. They spent a while tuning it and got it now so I can see who's behind me when it hit the loud pedal without losing any power from before.
