   could find the thread to reply in.
   anyway, went to see about a custom inlet adn plenim. price i got was at least 500 notes, because of it being a 1 off. so i think its either wait for a 2nd hand c2 vts inlet, buy a new c2 vts inlet (300), or save for throttle bodies. going to be too much cash for a custom with the chance you get a gain.

   Throttle Bodies sounds a very good idea.

    does the c2 inlet fit straight on? are we certain it will be an advantage over a saxo vts inlet?

    I actually thought of a great way to improve on standard, but it would be such a pain in the arse, I wouldnt even think about starting to get it to work.
