I didnt realize, but in this picture they show that the JCW tuning kit comes with a new exhaust manifold itself. Is this true? I thought it was just a turboback, or even just catback exhaust, but not a whole new manifold as well. Can someone please clarify if this is true?

 

hmm. wrong cold air hose

 

I noticed that too since from my understanding it has the smooth (bigger) one like on the JCW.

 

i would think...and want the other one lol... no sense in replacing the same

this shows much less

Thats really interesting! I think I am going to contact geniuinemini in the UK and see what they say about that.

 

Euro version of kit

 

Yes it's the euro version of the kit. We get a new exhaust manifold and I believe the US car already has it as stock.

 

same w the MAF too i guess

 

I read somewhere on here that JCW has stronger clutch too?

 

Not the stage 1 kit. The clutch is for the factory JCW.

 

According to Helix in another thread, its just an upgraded pressure plate and flywheel on the JCW.
