Hi,
Just upgraded my Vector with a JR filter and PPC package. Got them from Taliofero Saab. Nick is very helpful.
The filter by itself improved the engines responsiveness to throttle input. Small changes in throttle position result in small changes in engine rpm. This was not the case wit the OEM filter. Just this change alone, made the care livelier and mor fun to drive. Double clutching is easier too. The crunchy 6 speed is now more manageable, but still crunchy.
The PPC installation took about ten minutes and was slick. The car started up easily, no banging or knocking. I drove it out of the driveway and WOW!
The ECU adjusted quickly, rubber on demand, and even more fun. Have been driving the modification for several days now. The engine sounds better, idles better, is not peaky, has more power at all rpms, better roll-on, and is smoother than the old setup.
This car is now faster than my old Viggen with better power at all rpms. This is the way this car should have been setup in the first place. I now really love it. Before, I kept wishing a bit for the old Viggen. No more, though!
Can't wait for the catback.
Alex
