Induction kit, if you like torque I can whole heartedly recomend a BMC CDA. Amazing bit of kit!

Free flow exhaust, loads out there & free up a couple of horses too!

Otherwise just keep the revs above 3500 & you're laughing!! :evil:


EDIT: I can't spell for sh!t

If that kit doesnt work out for you, or its too much, then a model specific K and N induction kit for 65 quid is worth it I think.

less than 40 mins to fit, nice sound when accelerating.... seems a bit newer too!

Ive got one of those and a genuine vw stainless backbox...

combo that sounds good!

BMC is about £150, upto a proven 12BHP on some cars so I'd guess figure for 5-6 with a decent exhaust.

Similar to the K&N, 40mins to fit & run the piping.

Check out my recent posts for pics & that of it installed! :wink:
