   Right, I thought id experiment with having no direct air feed to by BMC induction kit. So its just 'open' (if you get me)
   
   I had it linked into the standard piping in the slam panel and it was fine.
   Since ive changed it, its seemed a bit slow top end! Reckon the no cold air feeds done this.
   
   My tappets are crappy atm too, gettint hem done Saturday, could they affect this?
   
   
   NEED ADVICE!

   I paid 30 for tappets to be done and for them to fit an oil catch tank while it was in as i didnt have time to do it
