to be honest mate i would be suprised if these were the only mods on this car before you bought it. these are usually things done after a remap . could be wrong though..

probably no gains with just adding those two items though.

i am going to smooth my airbox tomorrow aparrantly that give a slight gain

Yeah, it's very well looked after for a 99 AGU. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more too it. I've heard you can get a wheel spin in 2nd after a remap, don't think i could manage that with this. Can you spot anything else that aint standard other than the intake then?

this tells you how to do it .

you dont actually need the plastic flaps anyway these are there as this reduces the chance of them been damaged during the plastic vacuum molding.
