Looking good Bran! Question did you feel any power gains with the ipd plenum? And did you change exhaust yet? I am supposing your in a european car, being in Germany.

Thanks. ROW/German car, yep.
PSE with valves (+DME Tune) will be the last mod of them all.
Yes...I feel some power gains with the IPD/74mm throttle/desnorkel/larger intake vents and the BMC air filter. OF COURSE it is nothing like a Turbo tune on a modern car.
The intake Sound is awesome now. Kinda makes me wonder, if I will be able to hear much from the PSE later.

My car is ROW also, was passing emails with Rhonda FVD on order of mods. So was curious about the plenum before the exhaust.

She suggested doing the exhaust, filter, software, the plenum. I am thinking to collect all bits and install in one shot. But I am now kicking idea of swapping in fvd headers, fvd sound version muffler, filter, ipd plenum, and software tune.

I miss Germany, great roads, beer, and food!

Not to be the fly in the ointment, but is it going to pass ITV? I know they were going to start plugging into the OBD port on cars at some point. Most of the new ITV employees can't tell a stock car from a modified one unless it's a Leon.

Well i plan on leaving the stock cats inplace, but I dont have to take my cars to itv center. I would think emmisions shoukd be ok, and the fvd muffler looks stock. With the fvd tune you can put it back to stock. At some point I may have to put it all back. But my indie mechanic suggested a tune. I think mostly need to worry about emissions and noise.
