    Doesn't look like a C2 inlet, but I'd be interested to know what it actually is off.

    Yup - C2 inlet.
    
    To be fair - its still a beast. Not many around that are better - and the amount of development work and groundbreaking involved in Andy's was unreal.
    
    Quite a few things learnt since could easily push the power higher still. In fact, the power figure is even more impressive when you know about some things that haven't been done to it.

    Was to do with water injection iirc.
    
    You can only get the inlet of a C2 VTS, not seen any other models with them on. Rare as rocking horse poo and about £300+ from Citroen new
