Phase 1 172 vs Espace V6 airbox! Which is better?

[tommy g]

Hi all, I know this has been covered loads of times but in most threads I see, people always say one or the other.

Iv'e got a 172 cup and want to know which one is best to retrofit? I'm aware of the differences between the two and I plan on not using the caf's and run a itg panel filter. Also does the samco tb-2174 induction elbow fit either of the conversions with my phase 2?

I'm going to be getting a remap from tour de force so want to get one on before the map.

Any guidance Appricated

Both are the same fitment and yes the samco hose fits them.

Also Is the itg panel filter the same for the two?

Theyre the same box, only difference is the ph1 172 box has 2 intakes (small) and the Espace has one big intake.

As to which has more gains, I think it would be VERY minimal so get which ever you can actually find!

Nice one cheers buddy. Also with the samco it says only for phase 2? Does it fit the two variants of box properly?

I've got a greenstuff cotton filter in my airbox. Mine is a 172 Ph1 airbox with two air inlet pipes that come from under the left headlight.
