I totally forgot about this thread,

Thanx barbs
Since then, ive put on a towbar, K&N panel filter. Gave the car a good detailed clean, service. The oil that came outta the car was disgusting.
In next couple of weeks will be doing the two hole mod & later on sound sys.
Still thinking about wat head unit to fit.

Get an OTR intake instead of the 2 hole. People have been saying they are heaps better in the sv6. Gives more growl.

Workshops have actually been saying that the OTR are crap on the SV6's, so don't get one of them.

Do the two hole mod, as they are getting good gains, and cost nothing.

Ive been uming & arring about the 2 hole mod, ive red bullittSV6 intro thread & have taken a liking to the MCAI shroud.

Welcome to JC Paul:)

How big are the pics? Telstra slowed me to dialup speed and they wont load for me.

Thanx Ozzie, updated pics will come tonite if i get some time, will adjust size to.

Very nice ride mate you will do well:)

That is difinitely wat i had in mind

What skooby said. The Alloytec doesn't respond well to OTR 2 hole mod: good results and better bang for your buck.

Ive red af ew thread & have noticed that. Will be looking at the MCAI Shroud. I put a thermometor on front of the airbox then went for a drive & was amazed how hot it gets there. Thats when i started having second thoughts about the 2 hole, until i saw all the pics on ur thread & where u placed the shroud.

Yeah I noticed it was difficult to find pics of a full MCAI and 2 hole mod installation so I thought I might add them. I responded to your question about the part number and added more info that should help.

How hot did it get under there just out of curiosity

There's a thread on here somewhere where it gives a link to Castle Hill Exhaust's development of an OTR CAI. They abandoned development because the alloytec just didn't respond well to an OTR.
