alta's full intake, installed & dyno'd!!

took the clubbie in to Dynocomp to get Alta's intake/boost tube/inlet tube & WMW's turbo wrap all installed (plus poly motor mounts). The guys at Dynocomp as always were great (Richard even took me out to lunch in his modified Porsche GT2!!) that car is fricken AWESOME!!!!

Anyways as most of you know I currently have the Evotech tuned ECU (same as mini madness), previously I pulled on the dyno a +28hp & +34 tq with the evotune alone (178hp & 205 tq)... Yesterday before we installed the intake we did a baseline to see where they car was and the dyno run came up with a slight decrease in hp & tq (174 & 199) than we had a few weeks ago, but still consistent (too many variables as to why). So with the baseline run they set off to install the parts.

After the install we strapped the clubbie back up and ran some more pulls. The first few runs you could tell the ECU was learning to work with the new parts. We eventaully ended up with 188hp & 207tq (+14 & +8).The REAL nice thing was the tq increase from 2500 ALL the way up to the cut off, HUGE improvment across the board!! I have attached a pic of the dyno, red is again just the Evotune, and blue is with the intake (intake/boost tube & inlet tube)...

forgot to add about the sounds... WOW!!!! You can totally hear the turbo spool up, and the pssshhhh when you let off the gas. For those of you looking for more of what going on under the hood, this is the way to go!!!!

Good to hear! I'm interested in evotech's tune, but I'm waiting to see what alta's new tune is all about first.

So did you install the boost tube upgrade kit, the inlet and the cold air intake? Have you heard of anyone finding a cat back setup for the Clubman S?

Which of the tubes might one not purchase to save a few dollars, but still get some engine noise and hopefully some HP boost, too? A firend just bought the intake and he claims the turbo spooling up and the release valve.

Congrats on the new found power and performance! Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

On the clubman Exhaust, ours is FINALLY in production and will be available in a few weeks (I don't have the exact date.) You will be pleased that we beta tested units for MANY months to insure the highest HP gains, performance sound and no blats or drone. Works with our existing DP as well.

PM me your info and I will put you on the contact list as the release date gets closer.

Thanks again for your choice in ALTA products! It is appreciated!
