[gtikezz]

ok next question has any one got one of these on there car ? would you recomend them ?

 

[CraigW]

Definetely looks like one of those power boost valve things.

No I wouldnt recommend them, I am sure Dan had one on his 8v and it made fuel economy etc worse.

Im guessing you are using the inlet off that 16v as it isnt on the engine. Have you started stripping it yet?

Nope kezz, its a load of pap! Dan had one on his car, he said it made his MPG go down loads, and no extra performance!
Not worth it, sell it on ebay to someone who wants 1

very good mate

 

[vngtx]

any rust? im gonna look into possibly having the chassis number and plates changed over and just transfering the engine and everything.

 

[gtikezz]
