RS2 Inlet, mapping & 182 manifold... worth it?

[E9DYG]

Hi all

Due to get my 172 cup mapped in a months time by Chris @ EFI.

I have an RS2 inlet, ktec stealth exhaust and decat.

I am currently contemplating fitting a std 182 manifold, but just wanting peoples opinions to wether it’s worth the time and effort of swapping to the 182 manifold from the 172 and if I will get much further gains once mapped?

Any help is much appreciated.

Ta ??

little bit of a difference but nothing major.

Makes swapping the cat much easier, especially if you run a decat.

Yeah, the 172 flange is a pita to reach

Cheers chaps. Just trying to weigh it up wether my time would be better spent elsewhere!

Advice from Chris or Carl, sorted.

it should help make up for the vast amount of torque you lose as well from the inlet ?

can this be done without engine out?

Drop back of subframes down a bit.
