Not needed on a stage three conversion. In fact you will lose some low speed driveability Fitted one to mine just because it looks alot better

i would advise that you get egt sensors on each exhuast manifold to check the airflow to each cylinder as there can be big differences on some inlet manifold designs.

if there is a difference in air flow, injector flow should be trimmed to match. rp labs are developing the software to be able to do that on L8

My Clubfriend here in Sweden make these plenums, and the difference in flow on each cylinder is no more than max 3%. That,s why they are so good! On highpower engines that is. 500bhp and over.

I'm running one with 4x1000cc injectors and 30 psi of boost!

Remapped by Norris Motorsport. Going to the rolling road on Thursday to see what she does!

I bought a Radtech intercooler as the 'RS500' one I had on there was rubbish and I got the outlet of the intercooler rewelded for a straight run through.

The car absolutely flies....

I was assured by every established tuner of big power cossies that the standard (non Rs500) plenum was restrictive and inefficient if you were looking for over 400 bhp. None were trying to sell me anything but all were telling me to get an RS500 plenum.

In the end I did my own research and bought the swedish one with the bigger injectors.
