Probably a silly question, but if I were to buy a chargepipe from the USA for my RHD car, would it still fit on account of steering column? I know it's counterintuitive since the steering column won't be where it is on LHD cars and so there should be more space, but I want to make sure first! Aside from the steering column location, are there any differences in the engine bay between the two versions?

Charge pipes are the same.

Thanks for confirming.

In case you need another opinion. I agree with harms

Thanks Mike, much appreciated. I'm thinking there won't be much sense in getting a Cobb AP3 or a local dyno tune until the C/P has been replaced. Preventative measures and all.

Considering that you live in NZ i would get the CP at the same time as the tune

That's my plan. But I am still debating whether to get a Cobb Accessport or a local dyno tune with pre and post tune dyno runs to show the improvement. I like the idea of the Cobb with its guages and code reading etc, but I also like the idea of a custom tune tailored to my car. Both are the same price taking shipping into account.

Why dont you get Cobb + custom tune tailored for your car ?

[KiwiRD]

How does that work? If I install Stage 1 Aggressive, does the tuner then just tweak the Cobb specified parameters to suit my engine? Guess that's the best of both worlds.

You get the Cobb, give the OTS map a try and you feel you need more power get someone to custom tune it for you.
It can easily be done remote.

Not so concerned with the power aspect - I'll be happy with anything between 320 and 340 whp (I only run 93 octane). I was more thinking a custom tune might be safer as each engine is different and they can tune in real time on the dyno. But then I know the guys at Cobb know their stuff.

In terms of safety, you should be fine with OTS maps. They are on the conservative side.

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll be putting an order in in the next few days I think.
