yeah im tryin summit out. im really tryin to get my rs to flutter n i know it flutters coz i can hear it but i read on here that its the metering head that quietens it down.... so in theory if i move the metering head closer to the turbo then it should b at least a little bit louder!!?? what you reckon?

The metering head deadens the sound because the flap closes and kills the sound.

EFI, you KNOW it makes sense

To go onto OFAB/OFAC will only cost about £200/300 if you do it yourself, and you can sell you MFI bits on and make probably close to that back.......

ok to be honest. if i were to do it myself i prob will have to look into it first, see whats involved, get the bits and tools. try it and most probably will leave summit out. is there any1 or any company out there who do these conversions and how much? hopefully near me - im in west london. cheers

I bet it would, the flap is sprung loaded and once there is fuel pressure it means nothing anyway!!
