    Following on from @HertS3 thread. What are the options for just a little more supercharger whine? I don't want to go mad, but you can hardly hear it. I'm happy with performance ATM. There seems to be so much snake-oil/FUD regarding new intakes. Cheers Lee

    Crazy bonkers dynamic indicator idea????

    Ok, I know this is a stupid idea, but I'm not sure how stupid yet? I was a little upset that I didn't get the swooshing LED indicators. How difficult can it be I thought? So a quick hack with an addressable LED strip and an arduino and I have (dont laugh) :- Back in my B6 days you could...
