No not wheel, just engine performance (436hp btw, not 440) and also with oem charge pipe. I guess it will be about a 370-375 hp on the wheels. 436 "wheel" hp at that rpm is impossible with the standard turbo.


@akkando: Tuned by a very well-known Belgian tuner, so fully customised.

MST Inlet

I am impressed with it so far

With a lot of finesse I was able to get it to fit nicely without actually touching anything

That's some major finesse u got there if you didn't touch anything and got that in. I'm still seeing my shrink due to it.

Yeah, that inlet, hadn't heard of doing that (my car is still in warranty, so no real mods for me yet). I've since done some research on it though. Seems cool, but like a huge PITA, so I think I'll skip it.

You won't believe how it changes the feel of the car

Definitely a mod I'd recommend

Maybe I'll do it, then, when they replace it with V2.5 and enough people have haven't had issues with it rubbing through, or it's slightly smaller and easier to fit. I do all my own wrenching, so for the small gain I'll have to be bored. lol

Secret was applying assembly grease (super-lube) all over the inside of the silicone itself so you could move it around otherwise that silicone doesn't move it holds in place

You won't believe how the Turbo spools up

People have also reported better power in the high rev range and enhanced turbo noises, thoughts?

Most also install an upgraded diverter valve at the same time.

I plan to do these when my warranty expires.

It sounds absolutely lovely now

I didn't have time to install the DV

Glad I waited actually to see how much the addition of the DV feels separately

Thanks for the reply.

I look forward to hearing your impressions of the DV as well.

I agree with doing the mods one at a time so you can judge them better, but since I’ll have a shop do the install I think it will be a bit more cost efficient to do the inlet and DV together.

What?! You’re actually going to go back and install the DV? Masochist.
