  1. Now that we have a turbo and a straight exhaust system, what sort of improvements in the turbo unit can you see for the R56? Will I be able to bolt on a new turbo unit and pick up a quick 100 hp for $50? 😉
    Also, what will I be able to improve on the suspension to increase cornering speeds?
    Thanks for your comments!
    Confessed modaholic, pbraun.

  2. Now that the R56 is here, will you still be offering more products to the old R50 and R53 guys? Any new products in the near future?

  3. Hello again, I know their is a small market for the R52 (convertibles) and even smaller for the MMC but would you come up with any products for that market (my market;)), like a Air filter box that fits the small compartments of the MCC, K&N is the only company with a cone filetr for this and then there is the drop inn filetrs, but i want something more on the Alta S intake?!

  4. I’m not a “tracker” but i do want to maximize my car’s “fun” factor when it comes to driving on the twisties. That being said, I also want a car that’s very liveable and comfortable on a day-to-day usage basis, and for long-term road trips. I hope to take on the dragon in ’08, if not ’07.

    What kinds of mods do you offer/recommend in that situation? What is your opinion of the Mini Sports Suspension for someone fitting my driving characterists?

  5. Hey Alta,

    I have a O5 MCSa and am really wanting to get some stuff ever since I got my cat-back exhaust, here goes….

    Does the metal part of your intake vary for the manual to auto? Is it a completely new part just for the auto, or can I say buy the used metal part and still fit it on my automatic. Plus, I’ve heard that changing the intake to throttle body hose produces a whistling sound, what is the sound like? Is the box top needed to prevent water from entering the intake tract? And as an aside is there any difference from the V.1 to V.2 intakes except paint?

    Now for the pulley, what was the design changes from your V.1 pulleys to V.2 pulleys? And could you explain a little on just how your pulleys are attached to the supercharger shaft.

    Has an IC diverter or the V.2 IC ever been placed on an MCSa without fitment problems?

    Just what do endlinks or control arms improve?

    Would the Twurbo even fit an automatic, let alone explode the tranny? hehe

    You could let that last one guy actually…haha

    Thanks a lot Alta!

  6. Is it possible to get the pssttt sound out of a R56 turbo by adding a dump valve or changing an air filter? Is Alta planning something like this?

  7. Can the Alta Light Bar be wired to have either 2 or 4 bulbs on at a time without major electrical work?
