Yeah thats not a bad point at all, if i knew this earlier i probably would have
went for the 17% pulley.
They only thing is that the 15% can be driven really
hard with no problems, im sure i heard any more than a 15% and the car
should not be driven so hard.

well i regularly drive high up in the rev range, and the service manager said that the charger is definately capable. The 15% pulley is basically the safe option. But still definately great. enjoy

There is another mod where you remove all the stock plumbing before the throttle body and simply bolt a K&N 1520 or 1550 (i think) directly to the throttle body. This should cost about 30-40 USD, or just the cost of the filter and shipping.

You can read about it here and can read some claimed dyno numbers here.

This thing is called the HAI (hot air intake) for lack of a better term. The whole CAI dyno think is a very contentious issue over on NAM so be prepared for a great deal of vitriol and bile flung about.

It kind of reminds me of the flame wars that used to (still do?) occur on the rec.audio.pro newsgroup in the 90's, when the double-blind-testers would go after the i-don't-need-to-test-to-know-its-better crowd. These flame wars are nothing compared to those.

Nonetheless, it is a cheaper alternative that ostensibly produces power though it certainly isn't as pretty.

Just to help you out slightly, you may get a better answer by posting in the R56 section this is the R53 supercharged version of the forum

Since this thread has been ressurected (I had nothing to do with it!); I figured I could chuck in a question here.

Of all those higher up in this thread who went out to get the Alta Induction Kit, did you all get the cover for the top as well? Not quite sure if it's better to have a cover or not - as it's a lot "safer" to have one here in Perth, West Australia.

I've had plenty of "Yellow Stickers / Defects" in my previous car, so didn't want this filter to give me a unnecessary headache as such.

Thoughts?
