Hi All
Im booked in at MRC to have a milltek non res valved fitted, Stage 2, and a carbon clean. could any one advise on anything else i should do whilst the car is on the ramp. Cheers

If you don't mind me asking how much are they charging you for all that?

I had a manifold flap delete when I had a carbon clean.

[vroomrs4]

forgot to say that was included in the price.....

CAI feed installed and have him look at the oil cooler while he's at it

What sort of costs are stage 1 & stage 2.. are there any discounts over the prices on there website?

[vroomrs4]

You should get 10% or more discount on a stage 2 if you buy a milltek exhaust.

Definitely get the crank case breather changed. I had the same work carried out on mine, and it ran really bad as soon as I got it back. Took a while to find out what it was... it is recommended to change it if the manifold is disturbed as they can get a hairline crack as the plastic is brittle.

IMO the cold air feed is massively overpriced, and you can do it yourself and a much nicer job too. Mine was butchered in with what looked to be a bread knife and a poor fitting bolt, and a but of pipe that looked like it had been cut with a hacksaw. You can purchase a nice piece of pipe with a flanged end attachment for about £10 off eBay and looks and fits a whole lot better.

Thats great advice thank you, i will look in to that. i asked about a cold air feed and they said that it can cause MAF issues ? Many thanks

When you finally got yours sorted were you happy with the performance and sound ?

[Frostie]

Yeah, it goes really well. I still think that the difference from sport throttle control to normal is too extreme, but the map is good in sport mode. I have just puechased the reaonated centre boxes for my milltek though which are being fitted tomorrow, as the drone is killing me

[vroomrs4]

Thats interesting . at what speed does it really sound bad ?

[Frostie]

Normally between 1500 and 2300 rpm, which is right at cruising speed in lower speed areas, so i often find myself shifting a gear when not really necessary.

[Frostie]

I can let you know the difference tomorrow once the centre sections have been fitted..
