Hi all, I'm in need of a recommendation - I've just realised that my MOT is due & this'll be the first time I've had it done down here.
I'd prefer to go somewhere that's recommended rather than a random local place as I got a tyre changed at a local place a couple of months ago & they butchered...
I made a similar style kit & ran before/after at RS Tuning's dyno - it made an extra 3.5HP at the flywheel but lost a little power & torque in the mid-range so I put the standard airbox back on. I'll bring it with me on the day so someone can give it a try if they're that way inclined :rasp...
My 1billion-in-one multimeter has a sound level meter in it so we can compare ;)
I've got a decat + Piper exhaust (looks very similar to a Yozza from underneath the car) so should be around the same noise level as you.
I know I'm a little late to the party but reading through all 26 pages would kill me :rasp:
Can I still get in on this? I'd like to run my 182 (with BTM's GT Racing Cams) and see how it compares
I'd got a little breather filter hidden under the coilpack :)
So that's how a popular specialist on here came up with a price of £129+VAT for a similar kit?!
The parts actually cost me £54 - good science there! :rasp:
Results:
180.0hp with the standard airbox
183.5hp with the home-made induction kit
The power graph was almost exactly the same across the whole rev range as with the standard airbox, the main difference being the roar that you get from an open cone like that!
I've just got tracking details for PTT (a Turkish delivery service, I think) - hopefully it'll turn up in the next year!
Looking back at the pictures it does look to be fitted to a short-shift kit, although mine's got a short-shift kit so hopefully it'll fit :rasp:
Glad you appreciate my use of the CAF (read: I couldn't be arsed to remove it as I'm putting the airbox back in next week)

Far cheaper than the K&N, no idea if it's actually any good though :rasp:

I've just bought one - I was looking at getting one of these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180864398210 - but from Renault rather than eBay) but this is so much cheaper so I'll happily wait a few weeks!
The picture shows it fitted to a 1*2 with...
Just got quoted at £900, Fully Comp :)
