Hi
If you own a R8 V10, I send the following parts.
Two new air filter, two new air mass housing with new sensors
and mounting hardware.
With use of these parts must be adapted to each case, the engine software !
The Engine Power increase compared to the series air filters to + 32HP

So WITH these filter and a REMAP you'll gain 32HP? So how much would you gain with just the REMAP?
No matter where you go, there you are.

An R8 V10 with exhaust system and remap produces 565-585 HP.
With my filters and remap because it on + 32HP = 600-615HP

I hate to spoil your fun but mine has Capristo X, BMC air filters and custom ECU remap making 612ps/ 606nm so I don't really need YOUR air filters to achieve your claimed figures.

Hi Classba
This is also only the measurement of an R8 V10 Spyder with Capristo X Pipe and MAP coordination from Mega Speed.
Opposite the small BMC Air Filter My Filter certainly +15 HP will produce.

You are Tom, if nothing else, refreshingly optimistic.

Hi Tom,
So what you are saying is IF I use your bigger air filters then my car will produce (+15hp) becomes 630-640 ps which is more than your claimed number of 615hp earlier?.
I'm now head fecked and lost in translation lol

What the hell was that last sentence???? lol
I tell you what Tom, heres a challenge for you considering you are very optimistic and have had decades of experience so you can't loose.... you ship me a set of your BIG air filters kit and I'll get MRC to remap my car again BUT if they don't produce the numbers ( 640ps) then I'll return them to you and you will have to pay me for my petrol cost and MRC's rolling road time. If the numbers stacks up, I'll buy the air filter fit from you?.
