[David_smith_909]

done a bit of digging around

k03S vs AM04 (note k03 will be smaller than k03s)

AM mani vs stock mani (atp is similar to AM)

very nice kit mate was it expensive?

 

[Ruddmeister]

Is this the first 'customer' AMO4 kit ?

 

[acidstrato]

iv heard a few others have before David, im sure Martyn told me ages ago that his mate had one, and Craig also ordered one

cant be many more though

 

[Ruddmeister]

... and Craig also ordered ond

I heard a few had been ordered wasn't sure how many were on the road

 

[BEOWULF]

as acid has said , their are a few others, i know mike has one on a ibiza, i know craig bought the kit but erm ............ i bought it off him

so if martyns mate had one installed also, i would be the third i know off,
if not, il be the second i know off,

looking good dave

So other than the 2nd hand Actuator - what other bits are refurbed - or are they totally new units?

Be interesting to see if they offer any more power / longevity over the EO5 (All the ones I know of have now expired) but did give reasonable power / torque (265bhp/310lbft on Kev's)

yeah the actuator is used, i think by madmile, maybe wrong, MAF looks a bit suss also, but as far as im aware everything else is new

LOL I think I followed that so probably the second 'customer' application as Mike's would be the 'development' mule (if that's the right description)

luckily you can use your existing maf element if you don't want to risk that one.

the new maf is bigger than the one i have at the min, i think by 10mm

 

[m0rk]

yeah - that's why you can use your element.... in the 'new' maf housing.

 

[David_smith_909]

oh yeah, sorry mate, misunderstood you their

having trouble getting somewhere to fit it to be honest, my mate was going to do it in his garage with the help of his boss, but his boss wont let him do it anymore so im now shopping around

 

[acidstrato]

ahh i didnt realise this was craigs kit!

any particular reason he sold it on? he seemed so looking forward to it and waited a fair bit

basically he couldnt be @rsed waiting anymore, so hes orginising different things now, not too sure what, seems to change his mind everyday, lol

just so happens that this kit got delivered the day after

 

[acidstrato]

i thought you got it pretty quickly actually

 

[Daz_gibbo]

To be fair to them, Mike has run his for close to 2 years and it's still going strong. I think his was around 270 and 280-290lbft without the manifold and a few other pieces.

id be happy with that tbh, just as long as its faster than what i have now, lol

apparently this kit holds the power well also, we will see
