Guys,

I will have pics up of the bora with the new rims and suspension up tonite/tomorrow...

In the mean time, I need some help, I am looking at buying the following two items:

69-8250TWR Product Specifications
Product Style: 69 Series Typhoon Kits
Color: Wrinkle Red
Replacement Filter: RU-4990
CARB Exempt: No
System Type: Short-ram intake system
Weight: 8 lb (3.6 kg)
Product Box Length: 19.3 in (490 mm)
Product Box Width: 14.5 in (368 mm)
Product Box Height: 8.4 in (213 mm)

and

A premium sport shifter engineered for the Volkswagen enthusiast. This Sport Shifter has all of the features a performance minded driver requires. The finest materials, CAD designed, coupled with a short throw results in one extraordinary precision shifting system. This stylized precision shifter includes many of the key features found in race shifters including a stainless steel stick assembly, CNC machined aluminum lockout collar, a billet aluminum pivot and an aluminum knob with engraved insert. All of this combined with a simple straightforward installation provides a professional level shifter.

The air intake is 190 + shipping and the short shifter is 150 + shipping from the states...

Is there anything better dollar for value beyond these?

Carboni is expensive, aem is the same crap and I dont want a filter in the guard like a lot of the kits do...

man intake looks ok another option is the neuspeed p-flow intake

maybe. and i would not bother with that style of short shifter, you can get the ones that go onto the gear box, they seem to do the job just aswell../.

yeah that looks like the B&M shifter that I wanted to get. i ended up just getting the shift kit for the box side of things which works well. I do want to get the B&M too just for looks. be keen to see it if you get it.

Here are the questions, the p flow, whats it worth and where do I buy from here in Aus...

As for the shifter..

I understand there is a shift kit to reduce throw from the gear box side..

I also understand the one I am after reduces throw from inside the cabin...

What is the differece in results?

Will they do the same job if the cut upto 40%?

Pro's and Con's?

With my old sti, all i could get was a shifter from inside the cabin... and that did the job.

I am confused from this perspective?

Thanks for your help.
