speaking to a mini owner (i know...) yesterday whos a mate from school. now you might be thinking what does he know bout corsas?

well as some of you probably know lets and xes are fairly popular to squeeze in minis.

but anyway he told me this..... apprently on a 1.4 vaux engine chaging the inlet to a better inlet can release like 30 brake? cus it was quite heavily restricted. any truth in this?

lexmaul and mantzel are companys that make aftermarket inlet manifold that increase BHP, also companys such as dibillas (sp) and velos have also made such products
