thanks Chris.

It has a nipple for a vacuum line that will run to the boost pressure sensor for the Alta gauge.
All aftermarket electronic boost gauges use a MAP sensor w/ a nipple fitting, so you simply run a line from the Boost Source adapter to the MAP sensor for the boost gauge.

Hi ADAMSALTAMINI, I want to know more about your intercooler V2. I found it on a website but not so much data. Please let me know about the water injectros, why are they there and how do they operate and what does trigger them. Also, how do you compare your product with M7's V2. I like the shape of yours but I live in Saudi where it's tooooooo hot and I prefer performance over look.

Hey there! I know when I get my MINI the first thing I want to do is get your CAI put on it. I looked around and searched through this thread and couldn't seem to find any info on whether or not the CAIs void any type of factory warranty. I'm pretty 99.9% sure they don't, but I'm having trouble convincing my dad of that...(he wants me to wait until the warranty is over to put anything extra on my MINI )
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help!

CVC 27151 (b) states you may not exceed 95 dBA. However, it also states you may not modify the exhaust in violation of 27150, which states your muffler may not make "unusual" or "excessive" noise. Technically, you can be stopped and cited for having ANY aftermarket exhaust on your car.
However, in practical application of this law, we will not harass anyone unless:
1. We are given a special enforcement direction.
2. We believe you are a shady character and we need a reason to stop you and get in your car.
3. You are doing all kinds of other stupid driving and we want to throw the book at you.

Just thought I'd chime in on this since I'm a california police officer.

"Kirkland:
Adam,
Is it possible to program the DME to not light up the instrument panel with the CEL I have every start as a result of the Alta downpipe?"
Well yes and no! We need to find out what the code # or numbers are, then we can figure out where to go for a solution. We want nothing more than to help resolve the concern! Let me know in a PM or post here.
Thank you!
