   BMC's never seem to get good results on dyno's.
   
   I wouldnt have one myself.

   Agreed.
   
   This was proven by various dynos from the guys at manicmotors iirc.
   
   If not then there was a major debate about it and it was all roven by dynos.
   
   The standard air box and the K&N gen 2 were the best.

   we fitted one to our lupo and took care to route the cold air feed. 8.1 bhp increase on the rollers which we were dead happy with.

    all about getting the cold air feed right. Mess that up with any induction and it doesn't live up to its full potential

    THANK YOU KAM! this is exactly what i have said time and time again in similar threads, you need to have a decent cold air feed for a bmc to work at its best.
    
    Id only swap my BMC for a pro comp tbh

    Racelands are shit its just a green filter with a plastic scoop.....its not even carbon fibre like a BMC so a BMC stops some of the heat soak unlike a Raceland.
