Good stuff! I did the SAI delete very recently, there's a thread on it. Other than the engine management light coming on every so often (which I clear with a handheld code reader) I've had no issues at all.

Cool, yeah i've got a hand fault code reader that i could clear the code. Seems annoying to keep doing that though.
I like the idea of freeing up some space in the bay though. Ive ordered a blanking plate that should come today.
Just worried about MOT's and if it decides to act funny.

Yeah I was worried for the same reason but I'm sure a few people came back in my thread about the whole SAI delete and said they'd been through the MOT no problem with sports cats and everything.

Apparently the CEL can affect fuel trims but the warning light itself is currently only an advisory, not a fail as I was assuming, and people tend to say clear it in the car park before the test for the sake of 2 mins ;-)

I see what you mean. Do you have a link to this thread on it?

Yup;

I've got a few bits to add as the story goes on. There's a few other threads on the matter across various forums too, I was just trying to capture everything in one place before I went ahead and made the change but hopefully it will help other people out too.

You could always have the sai deleted from the map

^This. I need to ring the local tuner out as I'm not sure it can be deleted from a Revo map? But yes, by far the best solution!

Thanks ill check out the thread.

Do you think an induction kit offers much more than a upgraded panel filter?

I prefere a panel filter. With the bottom smoothed out in the box and a good cold airfeex to it.
Its all preference and noise
