They're worth $250, but they won't give you much more punch. The inlet side of the upper intake is around 60 to 65mm (can't recall exactly), so opening the TB up to 70mm is great, until it hits the upper intake opening.

I have one and did notice a difference . the opening on my manifold is the same size as my new TB. Maybe there is a difference in the S3 manifold i'm not sure but it all fits and goes well
