Default rs500 plenum

are these good enough to run 600bhp or do you need a swedish jobbie?

plus what needs to be done to a t5 to take it or is there a bara box availible?

No he doesnt, unless its changed recently.

He runs a RS500 plenum with a spacer, thats what all his 200mph+ runs were done on anyway.
He uses only four injectors though and has plugged the other holes.


PROPER bit of kit those plenums
