   and i am considering switching to a pipecross viper induction kit
   
   
   i was wondering will i see any significant gain?
   
   and is the gain worth the 200 pound price tag?

   Looking at a simular very little gain in performance with both.
   
   I've had both, i prefer the pipercross-viper. Car 'felt' faster, but in reality it's all in my head and is an un-noticable difference.
   
   An induction kit won't add much bhp on its own, I would stick with the raceland, and use the extra £200 on a decent manifold / exhaust to go with it.

   I would stick with the Raceland. You're better off saving the money on another mod for the car other than a replacement induction kit

   As everyone else has said, just stick with the Raceland

   In Portugal EVERYONE uses the "Raceland Type" induction. Usually with a Green air filter.
