this is just so cool, i'm drooling .

i was just saying to boags on the weekend about how the nc has really grown on me (wasn't a big fan when it was first released). i really love the look of the nc now, especially once it's lowered a bit with aftermarket springs.

and now this cosworth thing , well if i ever have enough spare money laying around i could definately see myself upgrading now.

6K for forced of induction of this quality (Cosworth does have a good reputation, right?) is an excellent price! Bolt on conveniance and a decent power/torque increase which will not just be top end (the NC is alot about mid range, afterall).

Don't just look at peak power, let's see how much more area under the line the before/after dyno's are showing. THAT will tell you how much quicker the car will be to drive.

I too wait with anticipation... Love the claimed potential power output but I hope they tidy the plumbing before they release it. :?

Or does this look like the standard NC engine bay - plumbing wise?

That's pretty much how they look. Dull and uninspiring by NA and NB standards.

Agreed. Although the congregation that were peering into my NC's engine bay on our little National Park run on the weekend were well impressed by how far back the block sits. And really, i think this is part of the reason why it's not so asthetically pleasing, since alot of accessories are moved forward of the block by necessity.

There just may be an NC in my future now!

I wonder how it would go with 14lbs??????????????????

Mind you, what about the warranty...................
