   simple question , wondering how much psi it can take before it blows , whats the max your running on a std one, and what else will fit that can take more psi
   
   many thanks

   depends on how well they sealed from the factory. what sort of temperature it was when they cured them to start with.
   
   ive seen some inlets take over 1.5bar then others not even withstand n/a

   Look up ATSpeeds 106, that is about 400 odd bhp and running a standard inlet. not sure if he's done anything to it mind.
   
   Tam also ran a standard inlet on his AX and that was about 240bhp at the wheels iirc.
   
   Plenty others running standard inlets aswell. Just turn it up and see what it takes - you can get them for £25 so what does it matter if it pops! buy another, simples.
   
   thats what i'll be doing anyway, running 1/2 a bar no probs will be putting 1.5 bar through it.
