the first one and the third one yes, number two its not worth it, get some induction pipe from a 57i kit or from a hardware shop and use that will be better for ducting the cold air.

Remeber to get number 1 first run it in the get the phase 2 ecu upgrade. (not calling you thick but some people who go for everything in one go)

The manifolds seem a fair price for bother inlet and exhaust as the inlet alone can cost over £1000. it might be worth looking to germany for the parts and getting them shipped as it will be quite a bit cheaper than regal or courtenay prices. Try ebay in germany or use dbilas site but im not sure what it is off the top of my head. If i remeber i will let you know.

The second link is the air intake after the air filter that goes to the engine!! it's much bigger than the standard one!! look on my engine pic on my car page!! cheers Cali 16v

oh yer, well thats something now to me.

TBH as it says only worth running on cars with over 230 bhp. but then again cant hurt to get more air into the engine. you gonna get head work done to it.

TBH its all over priced stuff on vauxhalls. need to find somewhere tat does the same parts but for cheaper.
Posted By: Macca GSI Re: What you think?? - 15th Feb 2006 11:55am
yer but the best thing about theses big firms is that they know what there talkin about and u get everything you need!

am planin on gettin all of them and the enlarged tbodie from courtency sport!

so will be near 190 bhp at flywheel!

also i want a lighten flywheel so the car will rev more freely!

A big throttle body is quite a high power mod.

Id get more air flowing first to get the biggest gain from it, ie, more boost, cooler charge etc..
Posted By: Macca GSI Re: What you think?? - 15th Feb 2006 12:08pm
you say more boost how?, my engine is 2.2 16v NA!!
Posted By: StuyMac Re: What you think?? - 15th Feb 2006 12:11pm
Ahhhh, sorry matey, thought the GSi was the Turbo one oshocked

Not too hot on Vauxhalls, Ill get me coat sorry
Posted By: Macca GSI Re: What you think?? - 15th Feb 2006 12:21pm
No worrys bud! i was goin get the turbo but i work in warrinton so the turbo would be crap on the juice! the 2.2 is much more smoother power cruve anyway! the mk4 gsi is the turbo, also u can get a sri turbo too! my names macca gsi coz a've got a corsa gsi too!
Posted By: Cali_16v Re: What you think?? - 15th Feb 2006 8:17pm
the corsa sri turbo is only 140ish bhp from a 2.0l same bhp as your 2.2 but you can say i have a turbo and look big and clever. until a redtop nova bombs past ya.

Posted By: Cali_16v Re: What you think?? - 16th Feb 2006 6:04pm
I am hatching some other plans away from my car at the moment cos i need some funds. my little plan might bring me some cheap mods or bring me the money to buy mods.
