D.S. Automotives are the main UK dealers for APS, so a phone call to them perhaps for the caik, they may help you with avcr, 3 port aswell

I got the bigger APS induction kit from DS Automotives too. About £190.

A 3 port boost solenoid will run you around £100.

There's also "general" 3PBS in here for around the £35 mark.

I got mine from Scoobymania.

It just bolts on but you HAVE to remap for it.

The car will be going up to Andy Forrest for a re-map.Andy says there is a few more bhp can be had by fitting this APS kit but is it worth the money??The car is going to be getting a full de-cat exhaust fitted so i dont think you will here the induction noise over the exhaust so will there be any point

Don't think so Seano, with 360/360 it's more than quick enough for the road as is, the difference will be very small.

If you're going for a remap anyway, i would fit the CAIK. I wouldn't, or couldn't justify paying for a remap just for the CAIK.

If you go for it, keep it off boost until you get to AF's. It will run hyper lean with the 70mm.

Sooooooooo worth it, i love the noise and the gains per pound are pretty impressive, especially if your already getting it remapped
