Alternatively, if you still have the original airbox, you can always get K&N OEM replacement panel filters which do a better job.
IMHO, get the intake, headers and exhaust sorted first and then get the car dyno tuned with VAFC 1 or 2 (doesn't really matter).
Like I said, I'm waiting for my Mugen headers to arrive and then get the car tuned with the VAFC. I'm hoping for at least 120hp at the wheels, if not more.
after the bolt-ons are done. time to do internals.. cams, cam gears, pistons, P&P etc.
I'm trying to source a 5sp MT for a conversion. incredibly difficult to locate.
also need to get my speed cut removed. Maybe the Apexi RSM. heh.
