Bit of an update today! The car is finally sounding like a turbo car! Got the COBB intake installed and also the BOV fitted up.
Stopped into MPS Garage to get the work done, they ordered the intake for me as it was about $20 more for them to do it. I was going to import it from the states etc but this was a whole lot easier and not that much more expensive. The intake has made the turbo spool must quicker and you can actually hear the whistle now! I got the BOV off another forum member. Its a turbosmart dual port, so if I decide later down the track I want to recirc it I can, however have it set to 50% open at the moment and I think it's just right - Here is a link to it - http://elevatecars.com/node/2486 Had a few people stop into the shop while I was there and compliment me on how much they liked the car - brought a smile to my face  As always lots of pics, I'll try take some video later of it venting.  Old intake piping VS the Cobb piping, the difference is huge  More parts of the intake, the BOV is in the bag  Adam from MPS Garage working hard, really nice bloke and took the time to explain things to me    BOV installed, fiddly job, have to take the front right tyre off

So been a little bit quiet on the update front however stopped by MPS Garage again today as my COBB Short Shifter finally arrived. It can be set at either 30 or 40% reduction, obviously I went with the latter, as after all its meant to be a short shift.
Got it installed in about 30 minutes and I was out the door. Best mod! The shifts are so tight and short now, it actually fixed my issue with first gear not really sitting in place properly as I could feel a kind of grinding sometimes under acceleration, now it feels right again and there isn't really any increased in resistance going into the gears either. For $200 fitted, it is a great mod, ready for the track day this weekend now As always - pics

Looking good Phil!
I spotted you a couple of weeks back around Castle Towers, it stands out heaps  The black and white blends in really well and so far I haven't seen one like it!
