Small turbo Escos I think mate. Or RS500, depending on the depth of your pockets.

Does a RS500 plenum have much in the way of gains over a much cheaper option of a 'swedish' style plenum?

Yes & No.
No direct comparison was made but Daves info & mine on the GT35 were compared & the RS500 made Power earlier. 500bhp @ 1.3 bar whereas the MIS needed 1.7 bar. Up to 770bhp it appears to have no advantages over the Spaced RS500 in fact I suggest its inferior, looks good though.
