Adam @ Alta.....a request

Since there are so many of us awaiting the arrival of a JCW stage 1 for the R56, perhaps you can provide the data for alternatives?

What I mean is: if we had torque/HP curves for some Alta options (like turbo-back exhaust and intake), it would help us evaluate our choices of mods. I'm guessing this would serve as a powerful advertising tool for you as well, considering this community speaks pretty highly of your goods.

rock on

Um, they have charts with HP and torque increases on their website, and they've also been posted on the forum. Do a quick search and you should be able to find 'em pretty easily.

Excellent question. I would love to see dyno results of a before and after with Alta's Intake system (not the filter replacement on the Alta site but the intake kit I've seen on another site... I think 1FastMini?) AND exhaust together, and including the down pipe if it is 50 state emissions compliant. I am pretty sure that combination would provide greater performance than the JCW Stage 1 kit at a significantly lower price (and sound meaner too ). I think that would be a huge selling point and worth the investment.
