   Drop the supercharger and dump valve and about 50 quid off the price, then yeah, it's worth the money.

   I just read there claims about the thing in the link. The numbers they have given reckon that it flows enough air for over 650bhp. They reckon it can knock 1.1 seconds of the 0-60 time of a car original with a 8.8 second time. Yet they reckon it gives the equivalent to 2psi boost. Yet they recon it will give you 10% gain in power. There numbers just don't add up, not even close lol

   ive got a k&n 57i kit for mine and obviously without remapping my car its not making much difference, apart from a sexual noise... but as far as it goes im impressed with it... looks good, comes with a heat shield... and a duct to run wherever you think the most air will be coming from... ive got mine running down to the foglight hole...

    BMCs are good, Pipercross Vipers are supposedly quite good too.
    
    Just avoid stuff with electric superchargers and crazy claims.

    You dont need a remap for a induction kit to make a difference lol
    
    Not that they make much of a difference anyway.

    LOL I think that must be a record for getting the closest time between runs. Even with launch control I have never seen cars get exactly the same time twice in a row never mind 5 times. It always shocks me how people get away with stuff like this.
