I installed one of these last week. Cost about $280 US. With the exchange rate you'd be getting a killer deal if customs didn't charge you out the butt.

It changes the character of the car. I hear all sorts of noises I didn't before. The turbo spooling up, the sucking sound of air going through the intake, a whistle/whine noise at ~>4.5k and of course the blowoff pchtshhh noise with every gear shift and throttle lift. There was a noticable difference in the butt dyno too.

oh yea, install took about 30 minutes.

You can order direct from Alta Mini Performance - Home Page
