are you aware of the issues with this intake + reflash tunes?
i know Lane and Steve W won't use this with Ecutek, Verso might be same same...

i'm sure someone can clarify further.

Tim Slako's West Racing used to have them.

Go out to tenagah and buy the Process West in guard one, they should have some as Abdus is the WA distributor for process west,

Best bit is theyre only about 200 bucks, compared to 450 for the APS and a similar quality

Yep Tim is still the distributor in Perth for APS I believe. Plenty of verso tuned cars with CAI going round though I am not one of them.

APS intake has been known to cause some dramas...and none of the ECUTeck boys will tune cars with APS intakes installed. Just ask Lane from RT.

It has something to do with the fact that the internal diameter of the inlet pipe isnt constant... so obviously when the diameter of the pipe changes, so does airflow/afm readings etc.

The Verso boys like others have said, have done this no problems at all.

That's interesting .. When purchasing mine, the only thing i was careful of was getting the 65mm version which is the same diameter as the stock pipe, So the AFM should not be affected at all .. It will just read more air going past .. Minus all those fuckin weird corrogations.

definately, but a couple of workshops have strongly recommended against the APS CAI in particular.
great with stock tune due to the 65mm dia, but i've been told it's a no-go otherwise.

then again, these were Ecutek shops Verso and full replacements are probably fine..
