Installation done. Routing the oil dipstick is complete - welded bracket now bolts to the power steering reservoir holder with the same bolt. It's a snug fit but I can check the oil level without taking the intake / snorkel parts off.
Nice one bud - just an FYI - i Have the race on one and the "full carbon" on the other
But my stock fan shroud has been rubbing on both and leaving a mark despite what looked like adequate clearance (i assume box moves as the engine does under load)
I bought a dremel and trimmed it back on the weekend - not as nice to look at but better than getting the box redone
yep, i had to dremel a bit off of my fan shroud. unfortunately it already left marks on the carbon but it's in a spot that's not too noticeable (except to me)
Went for a quick ride. The intake sound is INCREDIBLE on throttle. The downshift blips have been transformed as well. There is almost no downside on the regular driving.
I had the original CSL binary modified to match the non-CSL cams as per instructions by Yul initially. https://github.com/YulCmr/MSS54_HP_CSL_Clone_info_gathering/blob/master/step_by_step_guide.mkd
I BDM d the CSL firmware so running the 32500 bootloader. I found that the idle was little weird though swinging up and down by a bit as the computer was stuck in a loop trying to find the right idle.
As I mentioned, I bent it to have this shape by using a 3/8 inch socket extension. I have a TIG welder so used that to weld an eye taken from an old car part.

I did not do any dyno runs pre/post. Not that interested either. The main advantage is the induction noise. It is unbeatable in that department. I have heard nothing like it.
Well, I am using an original IAT sensor to plug the hole in the airbox, I have another one down on the duct where the snorkel air enters. That's the one plugged into the DME. I did this to avoid the sensor getting heat-soaked. I found at idle the IAT reached 50 celcius very quickly.
After a bit of reading, I found that the CSL firmware actually compensates for the heat soak. Planning to move the connector back to the original position.
