no difference in fuel economy if your driving style stays the same, but you will be using the higher revs more. mine didnt change at all really. | |

out of interest, does fitting one of these have a detrimental effect on fuel economy? | |

quote: you must have drilled out the holes on the throttle body to be able to mount it on the box? and the coolant pipes arent anything to do with throttle icing, the problem with extending them is that there isnt much room for them and quite often they will rub together and against other parts and split. Ive never fitted them and ive never had any problems on over 10 inlets ive fitted. whichever way you do it is fine tho, where do you live? I will fit it for you if you like, most garages wont want to know! | |

so a mechanich should be able to fit it, does it come with fitting instructions?? also what other modifications are generally made to compliment this and give more power and better drive?? | |

Drilling, didn't need to do any of that. | |

not quite as easy as that, but thats the basics. theres drilling to do and wiring to extend and lots of other fiddly bits...... | |

To fit one, you need to unbolt the upper inlet manifold, and take off. | |

fitting depends on how good you are and your understanding of mechanics. should see 125ish bhp then about 130i-135ish with remap and raised rev limit. | |

are they hard to fit or are they pretty straight foreward?? so with some simple breathing mods like dbilas 421 manifold ss exhaust and induction kit i should easily b able to gain 130ish bhp?? | |

they are good for up to 150+ bhp if you want to spend money, but they are a straight forward bolt-on mod that will give around 120-125 bhp on a standard 1.6 16v | |
