Pre stage 2 upgrades....

Ok, ive done loads of work on my car to take it to stage 2. Will be booked into badger5 in the new year.

Does the diverter valve relocation kit make much difference to the intake temperature (as advertised)? Is it worh the money?
Im looking at the Forge kit.

Also looking at the Forge adjustable waste gate. A worthy purchase for finer tuning?

Not sure on any differences with the intake temps tbh as mine was done before I had the car. I've just freshened the pipe work up and moved it to a slightly different position.

But it definitely makes the bay look prettier if you're running with the cover off mate

doesnt make a difference from what ive heard, just get a good FMIC with good routing, an a decent heatshield around the air filter. There is some more serious stuff to take intake temps down like WMI though

All that done except the water.

The pipe to the diverter valve is getting hot, as is the valve. Nature of the beast i guess.
Going to be getting a lot of heat from the rocker cover too, so will look at reducing that at least.
