My mate paul (VX PAUL on migweb), He has made a few of his own powerboxes. He has one on his car and when he fitted it it made so much differance! Loads better than the standard one. I know he has a few of them made up and he is will ing to sell them too. His looks really good. Looks proper original. Go on migweb and PM him and have a word with him , he will sort you out with one. | |

im in the process of doing them, taking a lot longer than i hoped tho. not as simple as you would think, the cost rules it out unless you are prepared to make 20+ in one go. | |

Mine was the red GSi with Velos Torq tube on - had stainless steel battery cover and spark plug cover too. | |

There performance inlet manifolds for the 1.4 and 1.6 16v xe engines, they replace the original which is very restrictive :) | |
