Look forward to seeing some more numbers with this, I can see the advantages of the silicon for getting better flow and seal to the throttle bodies. Be good to see one in the engine bay? Anyone got pictures of one fitted?
My car will be going back on Jules rollers to continue testing the variants being developed, the last testing was about a year ago, but had to stop for various reasons.Once the testing is complete, Brendan will have them for sale on his soon to be launched website, Jules will of course be providing the mapping service.

I finally gave in and ordered it today - I am so weak....
I'm a step ahead of you, muhahaha.... 
Looking forward to Brendan's arriving shortly. So with other tweaks im having e.g. Lightened flywheel, modified throttle bodies to better accommodate the hoses without the impingement, larger injectors....oh and the ACT exhaust system ..... I've also booked in with jules 
Larger Mortgage again...

I don't know whether to try and fit it myself, or take it to David Geralds - I always end up breaking something...
Do you know whether you can use the carbon trumpets with this particular model, as it isn't advertised as an add-one, like the standard CF box?
Which one have you bought? Mines Brendan's for similar price, full carbon, silicon hoses, trumpets and additional breather pipe for extra cold air. The extra pipe allows air to enter from the front vents which is fixed in place with a well designed plate. I have the ACT one which is the full carbon with trumpets on my T350, which is also good but fancied a change.

Oops sorry. I promise not to tell anyone else except the ~100k people on this forum then!
I'll let you off Looking forward to seeing them this week and no doubt Jules looks forward to seeing them in action Thanks for accommodating the tweaks
It was Jules idea and makes sense with the silicon hoses Andy_mr2sc said:
No problem I'll be interested to see the results. What other mods are you doing before Jules gets it or is that secret too? Haha!
A few things, but mainly TVR Power lightened flywheel, ACT Exhaust and Silicoln Hess with new water pipes, Brendan's Airbox ....everything polished in engine bay and Zircotec heat shield and manifolds and decats performance coated etc. It goes to Jules for a map as he's right next to Brendan and that reduces miles I'm travelling plus it's good to try somewhere different and jules has helped with throttle body ideas. Brendan is modifying a few areas for me and respraying my car..then on to surface and design for a couple more mods should be done February time. s
t that sounds a lot....eeekEdited by ShiDevil on Tuesday 1st December 20:48

Please make sure air/fuel ratio is correct you can't just plug and play especially on Powers bigger engines

So, would it be better to wait for you to fit it?Dom
