i just dropped off my car at steve's today, it should be done at around 3, i'm getting the k/n typhoon intake, and the alta 15% reduction pulley and some sort of "blow off" valve that steve developed (it was free), i think he might've just been joking, but he sounded serious but whatever, i can't wait, i'll post a review on the difference for anyone interested as soon as i test it out...

:D:D:D

we'll see if the mod-bug is really that contagious or should i say the psi-bug

Hmmm, looks like some kind of ersatz, artificial, cloaking devise for the acoustically challenged.

So how is your 'new' MINI? Are you able to post how much Steve charged for the installs?

I bet he applies the Ryephile zip-tie to the bypass valve.

i got the pulley install and all i can say is wow....

If anyone is contemplating getting this, i HIGHLY recommend it, can't say anything for the 19 or 17, cause i got the 15 but it's a big difference. The car just plainly pulls faster and harder, in all gears (1-4, haven't gone in through 5/6th yet). Whereas stock my 3/4th gears never really pulled that hard, high-end 5500+ there seems to be a big increase in acceleration. THe only thing is low-end torque in 1st gear (i.e. launch). but then again, i have never tried launching my car so i dont' know if its faster, but the pick up is no longer at 4k rpm, its more like 2800 rpm which is great, before my supercharger whine would only come in at like 5000+ now it comes in at like 3200.

For anyone interested: 400 installed (seems to be the common asking price), makes a huge difference in your car's high-end speed, overal pull, and acceleration (from what i've noticed), all i have is the pulley so i don't know how it will be with exhaust/intake (but i'm getting an intake next week, on backorder
