I am considering the Alta to complement my JCW. Thoughts?

The Alta intake with hose is a great addition to the JCW kit MCS.
The other obvious upgrade would be lightweight wheels- 16" is the best size for cost, low weight, and good performance.
Another good option would be lowering springs and a rear swaybar with adjustable settings.
Should be pretty good.

Yes, I run the Alta with the JCW. Between the addition to performance and the sound at WOT, it's a great combination!!!
