Minor amount on its own - better with some other mods. Its more the response than a noticeable bhp gain.

What's with the "." ".." replies?

The power difference is very noticeable if you have a series of modifications however on a stock car you'll notice that the car is smoother and revs quicker.

I thought it must be the sound of those dirt molecules trying desperately to miss your car or somehow being repelled by the dirt repellant you spray on

Hi
I experience the same noise on track - its sad though how many people keep coming up & saying that they can hear the 'Turbo / Supercharger' - where from I've no idea - but I suppose in thier ignorance, it satisifies thier angst regards being passed in thier 300bhp+

Peter,
Just looked at you sig and notice you have Rota slipstreams. I am considering some gunmetal with polished rims in the same size/offset. Are you happy with the wheels?

Nice car too
