Hi been my first post in a while but i have just purchased my 08 Pepper white MCS with JCW tuning Kit.

I was wonder what people have added to there MCS works to tweak it up that little bit more???

My main reason for this post was to ask if any one has fitted a Miltek Down pipe and Hi-flow cat for the one that comes with the JCW kit but keeping the cat back part???

Has anyone anyone fitted the Turbo Inlet Hoses or the Boost tube upgrade??? Any performance gains from these changes??

A friend of mine said that a few MCS owners have fitted the Miltek "stealth" cat-pipe, but are keeping quiet about it due to warranty issues.....allegedly?

The 'Stealth' cat is from GTT, modified from a std. cat. The Miltek race cat is not 'stealth'

I've fitted an ITG filter in my R56MCS JCW (192) and have the Inlet pipe & boost tubes on order.

The filter made enough difference for me to realise this engine needs to 'breath' better. The tubes should make a difference.

The only car person i've seen that has a R56 Works with the stealth cat and all the tubes from ALTA is a guy on NAM from Melbourne, R56JCW is his tag IIRC. With the ALTA FMIC and the ALTA intake he's running around 205bhp @ the wheels

He dynoed after just the tubes and FMIC was fitted and he said it gave 14.5% increase in power and 20% in torque.

He also told me that the GTT Stealth cat made around 10whp, and helped more at the top end, whereas the ALTA FMIC helped more at mid range grunt, which shows in the torque increase.

Hope this helps

Yes thanks for the information will look into it. Also does anyone know what kind of cat comes with the r56 works kit. i have been wondering if its a hi-flow sports cat or is it a cat-back attached to a standard MCS cat???????

The Works Tuning Kit doesn't include a cat, hence the GTT stealth cat is still applicable.
