But the best option is to ditch the std intake and go turbo side even below 300, increases throttle response enormously.Big power these days is 500+ Edited 23/02/12 06:39 AM by arronm

So the topic was to see if others have reached or passed this power level (330) with, stock box, F6 intake, and k&n panel. And is the turbo side intake really that effective, does it result in quicker 0-100km and or faster 1/4 mile times.???

When I upgraded the intercooler +cold side piping this had to go and now its open to the engine bay. I have a (dont laugh) plastic lid from a jar that fits perfectly but worried it might melt there....

You could cut up a 2lt ice cream container and sikaflex it inside to fill the hole.Also the second rectangle F6 intake didn't have the duck bill on it so I have bought some 150mm round ducting that has almost paper like aluminium wrapped on it from bunnings. It came in a box with roughly 3mt's for $30 and is just what I need. I will cut the rectangle hole bigger and oval shape to hold the ducting and use maybe 30cm at most and direct it under the headlight.The final step would be to block off the box from the radiator and engines radiating heat if need be!
