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

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!
