To someone who knows relatively naff all about maff readings and the like - whats 408g/s mean then in terms of HP
Suppose this is the equivalent of a stage 3 type car with FMIC.

Are those Sportec grilles, or DIY jobbies?

SO that's 500bhp with just the FMIC, downpipe & catback exhaust, cats removed and remap?

Looks great - the thing that sells it for me is the grills - so if you could also supply them it makes it all the more interesting!
What %-age power gain do you estimate? (I have an MTM st3 showing 471bhp at present)
My only real reservation is.....do I lose anything more than the front fogs going this route? As in, on the website it mentions removal of A/C fan - I'm assuming therefore that I lose A/C altogether? (If so that's a showstopper for me
)

You won't lose your A/C. Just the fan.....

What sort of figures are we looking at as i already have a milltek cat back res system, and am really interested in this mod. I need to book my car in for a cam belt change in a a couple of months, so whilst the bumper is off it seems practical to have the front mount intercooler fitted at the same time !!!
I guess i will need an MRC custom map as well ?
Cheers

Bear in mind the listed car also has MRC custom 3" DP's also, so you'd need to factor that cost on top of the FMIC.

What's the consequences of removing this?
