Whats your opinions?

Is it worth the hours of pissing about fitting it and the price it costs for the edge

Does it kill the mid range power and leaves all the power to top end of the engine?

Mine did make a nice difference however yes it does feel like the power band has shifted up at higher rpm meaning you have to rev it more!

You will definately notice the pull though (the standard inlet is the biggest restriction on these engines)

i don't think there is any loss in mid range power, it just feels like there is as there is so much more in the top end.

it's very much worth it IMO will change the car completely.

Seen some impressive figures with these inlets fitted. £ per performance is very impressive.

Deffo. Changes the car completly top end- and pulls so much more. I was suprised how much of a difference it made when i fitted mine a while back. well worth it.

With a standard limiter it's a bit shecht though. Well it is on my 1.4 sport with the Mantzel. Power kicks in about 4500, and you actually feel it pulling more at about 6k...WTF is the point

Loved mine, if i was to get another 1.6 i would buy one. You need a full system if your getting one, had to put standard manifold back on mine for a while and it felt really restricted

Without doubt mate, if you can get a Mantzel box and then get a remap with raised rev limit
