Ebay is having 10% off now with the christmas10 code that ends tomorrow. May be a good time to get some parts.

I'd upgrade the charge pipe if you have a 2009 or above. They have the version of the charge pipe which is prone to cracking as they are one piece hard plastic which puts too much stress on the flange. The old ones have a rubber accordian which relieves the flexing and I've never even seen a pic of them failing. I've removed and installed a lot of the various charge pipes and most of them don't fit as well as the stock parts. Sometimes the seal between the throttle body and charge pipe is a bit loose or the mounting brackets don't line up.

FMIC bear in mind the 5" VRSF still requires cutting off a clamp off a rubber hose on the hotside charge pipe. If you damage the rubber hose while cutting off the clamp you cannot go back to stock without buying a new hotside charge pipe.

I will be at the meet (I am the one organizing it). Would be happy to chat about potential mods on your car.

Grouse, thanks mate! ill catch you there.
Theres definately a few options now!
I'll try not buy anything before!
