I'll have more of a go at that then. I tried it earlier without success.

The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

Surely shifting the battery like that would put the positive terminal connections dangerously close to the ECU bracket?

The terminals are on the other side of the battery in mine.

Just about managed it, but I've had to put some insulation between the battery and the ECU cover. I thought it was plastic but it's actually metal so a thick bit of plastic should stop anything getting across.
Bwaaaaarp incoming.

You seem to have a lot more room between the battery and the headlight for the filter to sit in than I do. Even with a bigger battery! May have to go do some investigating on mine. There's loads of room for the pipe to go through but the filter seems really tight in the space I have.Just about managed it, but I've had to put some insulation between the battery and the ECU cover.

I had to lift my battery over the top of the back stop to fit the filter in. I wouldn't recommend running it like that for long though - there's a chance that the battery could come loose or the back stop could crack the bottom of the battery casing.

As I put in my post, it's insulated from the ECU cover.

I fitted this to my car on Monday. It's sounds amazing!!!
Just can't imagine a police officer going round in a clio with a loud induction noise. Certainly beats the stereo typical boy racer image lol

Undecided. Sounds better, but not as throaty as I was expecting.
No detectable alteration in performance.

Very. Was 99% there. I've driven the car more lately and it's awesome. £40 well spent, do it.
Hoping to get mine tomorrow when I see my dad for Christmas.
I will take photos but no point doing sound as the exhaust is blowing that badly it's all you can hear!

Anybody fitted this on a car with no map? What's it like in terms of power delivery? Just curious to the power increase/ decrease mentioned through out the thread as most seem to run the 98 Ron map.
Merry Christmas!:

@Kchristmas I found it runs pretty much the same as standard, just a lot louder.
Also I tested the MPG difference and there was like no change for me. And I do motorway and town driving.

Yeah I've got one mate. Recommend it a lot. I've had the far more expensive ktec equivalent, no difference bar tax (ktec)

It gets a 10 from len! Even though im not len, but yeah i have had it a few weeks now and its pretty good
You noticed any difference in performance

Cant tell if hp has increased, but it has made the throttle response better, but i dont feel it has lost power

You'd never notice a difference TBH. Only when you stuck it on a dyno would you see the difference.
Could wait until morning so even though it's freezing and dark outside I went out with my torch and jobs a good un:
I must admit the camera flash doesn't make the engine bay look particularly clean! Lol.

Would you say the difference would be for or against.

I'd say slightly for, given Fatty's test results.
I want to get the ph1 on a rolling road at some point. If I ever actually get round to it (got more important things that need done on it just now) I'll get this kit tested against my standard airbox and panel filter.

Ebay... the fatty had a link for it on the first page of this thread

Sorry should of said i meant the silicone one not the polished one (already ordered that, but didn't fancy £80+ for other one)
