Hi Jay,
i cant say, but i would say my inlet is at least as good a swed inlet.
Also, Rod runs a Rs500 inlet, and that speaks volumes to me.

2wd cover = 440bhp
4x4 cover = 460bhp
eec4 cover = 520bhp
RS500 cover = ???
Swedish plenum = MAXIMUM
..all approx
..dont like the look of Baskys.

That go with out saying tho, if you fit a new inlet, say a 2wd to a 4wd, it will be the same.
And Rod uses a 500 inlet, and we all know what he's managed.

the same thing as what jenspeed do
But i cant flow check them, and you will need a remap on over 50% throttle.

but its not sweedish
done afair few track days with the plenium and no probs ,
even pushes cars on greys,although im on greens
surely you would only have to flow test when using all its potential
and 350bhp @20PSI is nowhere near
some of the other pleniums dont taper either,seen one on the texaco one in norway with a much squarer monifold

If you want it finished, or just left as the one pictured?
And if you will supplie the plenum to modifie,
but it will need a skim, and P+P back to you, thats £25 on its own.

I have noticed boost fluctuation between 5000rpm and 5800rpm after I did this modification to my 4wd plenum cover. It could be some other thing also since I changed my cam timing and had my cylinder head ported, but the first thing that came in to my mind was that maybe my modification didn't go so well. Has anyone else noticed this kind of thing? The fluctuation isn't bad, but it is noticeable since my boost signal is almost flat until that point and after this rev band.
