Yes from everything ive read about them they are well worth buying. Bought one for mine but sold the car before i fitted it so sold it on. Get onto Isam at INA for one as hes slightly cheaper than bill as hes in the states

Its basically a thicker gasket to the standard one which takes longer to heat up and quicker to cool down so it keep the intake temperatures down much better than the standard gasket

£59+vat for mine
phenolic insulator gasket

keeps inlet manifold cooler from not conducting uber hot cylinder head temps into manifold, and slows the onset of heatsoak.

as used to good effect on badgerwagen

works very well on mine, even after a lengthy time out on the track, the inlet mani is still cool :D

I think im gonna change mine up for one from Bill, the Newsouth one isnt that thick so thermally it cant be that good a design.
