Cheers guys.
Mattie, I think it does. Forge seem to think so (but they would wouldn't they?). No increase in Turbo Lag, and the inlet temperatures are down by quite a lot to be honest so I'd imagine so.

it will cool the IAT so the air is more dense and give a better burn.
without mapping it might give a noticable power gain, but with it installed a remap can make better use of it. 
if that makes sense... lol

That's the plan Twed, the car has definately changed for the better with it on. Just waiting for the exhaus to arrive so we can get that and remaining polybushes fitted and then get him mapped! Still on target for getting it down ready for Trax!

Something else arrived this morning  (already removed the main visor lol, I can't help myself with new toys, I have to take them apart!)
Best service I've had from a supplier by far from these guys. Plenty of emails updating with what's happening, best options etc as you'd expect, but then a text this morning telling me it would arrive between 7:40 and 8:40. 8:00am a knock on the door and it had arrived. Brilliant
We're just refurbing the callipers at the moment. Silver with red detailing

looking good ape! Loving the balls out effort on the performance side!
Thanks for the info on the fmic, am thinking of getting one very soon but cant afford that and a remap at the same time so wondered if the fmic on its own for a month or two was a mistake or not!

Cheers guys.
I'm running an FMIC without a map at the moment, it doesn't hurt it I was going all out power but it's pointless unles you can use it around the corners, so I've done a bit of both
Twed - the ISO was set to 100, can't go any lower but still get noise in the photo's

Yeah, was trying to get the best deal for a while as it's not cheap at just under £800, but you get what you pay for.
The Helmet was brand new aye,

Not really a problem, as the air gets put through a red hot turbo anyway
