Re: Finally got the X booked in for a remap :)

Yes the 4.6is is a V8, I'm not sure how different it is from the 4.8's though tbh, don't think there's too much in it

Re: E53 induction kits know in stock

i must say this thing really unlocks a V8 i complained to Jason that mine was too "muted" with the windows up even when you boot it....so we went out in his with this kit fitted and what a difference, that was a proper sounding V8. top kit!
