Yeah - the engine is all completely standard - Just a custom made exhaust back box

the induction kit probably free'd up some power and obviously swapping it back has restricted the car again

Only sure way would be to rolling road it. May be just less noisy.

May produce a bhp or 2 less without the induction kit, but you have the bonus of better fuel economy, less noise and smoother running

Induction kits will use more fuel because you can get a little more air in the engine, also they suck in hot air which requires more fuel to burn and also you will floor the car more to get it to make lotsa noise!

The reason i took it off was cos i thought it might be sucking in hot air and not performing as well as it could, but now the cars even worse
