Oh, well in that case, I have absolutely no idea. Honestly, I think the idea was scrapped after enough R&D indicated that there was no benefit to a CAI on this car. The stock airbox with a good filter was more beneficial apparently. Thats just hearsay though so I would honestly ask one of the guys who were working on it(ie: TTurbobullett or Spartan8).

Other vendors sell CAIs, so I am more interested in 2.0.3 with more torque, 2.1 gear dependent boost, delimiter, and maps for DPs, CAI, FMIC and their combinations.
Also, how do I activate the O2-sims feature for the DPs?

Waiting patiently will not help at all. That's what I experienced in the last 9 months. Buy the UR CAI, this design will be hard to beat ( especially with the dual cone filter intake Vishnu has planned ).

Ciao,
Eugen

Wow…someone did some real engineering work. You would think that these companies that sell CAI would post pressure drop performances but then it show that they do nothing that is worth anything.

I'm waiting....so far I haven't been disappointed with Vishnu's product. As long as it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner, please!
