I'm trying to decide what to purchase next for my Gsi. Heres my choice: Mantzel powerbox, velos powerbox, lexmaul ram induction. I'm keen on getting the mantzel but is it worth all of £420 over the £285 velos??

I also have a question. whats the difference between carb's and throttle bodies. I'm guessing theres quite a big difference due to the huge power gains from tb's. Will it be more than fitting two twin weber carbs?

Would appreciate some help on this.

And by the way.....whats everyone else got on there Gsi's?

Yea, there are still places that have them in stock though. Did the mantzel give a noticable gain in the performance?

Fair play, will look out for your car then.

My Silver Corsa can be seen parked on the road outside student village... Usually with smashed glass next to it as it gets broken into on a regular basis
