An oil catch can that doesn't remove the stock siphon tube would be nice. M7 has developed one but you've gotta remove the tube! I really don't like this. I've looked over my engine bay about 10 minutes last night thinking where to place one and I'm a bit stumped. More deep thinking tonight...

Hard turbo inlet and hotside intercooler tube FTW!

I talked to Anthony yesterday about their operations. They are VERY busy and have locked down on the O2 sim along with production of the downpipes and exhausts. The 02 sim is going to be evaluated by an electrical engineering expert soon to ensure there won't be any surprises. There were various bumps in the road when suppliers of various parts caused many delays. Trust me, they haven't forgotton about us.

Hi Stig,

The exhaust should be shipping out in a few weeks. We have all material being bent up and will have all the production pieces completed within 2 weeks. Since this is a production run, all the pieces are pre-cut/bent before welding so it does take some time. We are also making the muffler bodies in house so it does take sometime to develop the systems.

Downpipe orders go out almost every day. We are backlogged by about 5 sets right now that will be going out Mid next week.

o2 sims will be going out as soon as our processors are completed. Timeline has been given on a person email to everybody added to the o2 sim order list.

Yes, a company called Imagine Performance. PM me if you would like more info...they are not vendors on NAM yet and don't want to ruffle any feathers about it.

Intake manifold? I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe we'll actually get some dyno graphs this time LOL!

The R56 1.6 will benefit from a increase in topend (intake manifold,head and exhaust manifold) flowrate (cfm) .The intake runners, cylinder head intake and exhaust ports are very small and limited in cfm flow. Once the Ecu is mastered we will have the next step open to us in building horsepower and then the r56 1.6 will have a 200+ hp per liter potential .

Horsepower is all about how much airflow you can get out of the engine .
