I did the Alta CAI and the Alta 17% at the same time and WOW...not only did my butt fancy the mods, but it was VERY pleasing to my ears....a lot more race car sounding... Shortly after i did the DT Bypass valve...it took me about 2 hours doing it at night with a small pen lamp and a halogen lamp. I found that you'll need some patience in manuevering the horn off (you'll see what i mean if you get it) and that unless you have the right tool (luckly i did) putting the MINI hose clamps on can be very annoying (even with the right tool it was annoying) so get yourself some hose clamps from your hardware store. oh and You'll need to remove the tube that connects your CAI to your throttle body to get to your BPV so doing the CAI and the BPV at the same time wouldn;t be a bad idea.
The BPV btw give more kick earlier
Personally I'm happy with the steps that i Took, and would recomend the same, CAI and Pulley... and then BPV.
