Fitted Dbilas yesterday. Love the sound. Is notably different too carbonio.
Sounds like darth vader. lol

Never thought about it sounding like Darth Vadar, but I suppose it does when increasing speed at just below boost going up a hill
Unless i have a hole somewhere, ir a possesed Dbilas lol
Have to disagree with you there Dan. I am willing to bet the Dbilas is probably as efficient than the cone in your car. I am however aware that big power Evos etc all use cones.
I believe (although I have not seen it not proven anywhere) that they are good for about the same gain as the exhaust gives.
With regard to the sound it is not hugely different. Its hard to say the what difference is too - you really need to hear it. Quick throttle let off gives a nice whoosh sometimes.

So once I start doing performance mods you reckon I should leave the intake as one of the last upgrades?
Hows your car running btw, got it sorted?
I would leave it toward the end because the stock fuel pump cant cope with the amount of air that comes through the stock engine cover and filter never mind an uprated one. All you will do with an uprated intake on a mapped car with a stock fuel pump is lean it out and provoke fuel cuts.
im kinda at this stage now really. i have the full milltek, well cat back is in the post and revo stg1, just dont know what to do next.
should i get stage 2 uprgrade when full milltek gets fitted providing just using the standard air intake or will i need a cai like dbilas can i just run stage 1 with the milltek and still get the gains. cheers

Fuel pump next, uprate intercooler then add intake and hey presto stage 2 +
PS - Be sure to uprate the gearbox mount.
cheers bud any idea where to get the gearbox mount from.
so can i run stg2 with just milltek or is it best to keep it at stg 1 thanks again.
Assuming you are running Revo, Stage 2 requires intake upgrade and exhaust. However there is not much difference in performance between stage 1 and stage 2 with the same mods. You will see power delivery move further up the revs. You would be best advised to do the fuel pump if you are going stage 2 though in my opinion to stop it leaning out. And with it getting warmer, an intercooler is gonna help you too
. At that point you are pretty well stage 2+ spec - about £1k from where you are now if you go with Autotech pump internals, dbilas flowmaster and an S3 intercooler.You can buy gearbox mounts from most resellers - I know you can get them from JKM. They basically stop wheelhop which you will get a lot more of with increased power. Bear in mind the bhp increase from stock to stage 1 Revo is the same as from stage 1 Revo to Stage 2+ Revo.

ok thanks ill prob just stay at stg1 for now. not sure how drivable or reliable the car will be with stage 2+ though for everyday driving.
