    The BMC will flow a lot better out the box but the Raceland can be upgraded with a better and bigger filter

    Is budget a problem?

    If not go for the BMC, but if moneys alittle tighter go for the RaceLand and then upgrade to the Green internal filter at a later date

    Have alook on here http://www.simota.co.uk/products/citroen/

    These people do some nice looking alternative induction kits open/enclosed/scoop etc and at not that silly prices either. Well worth a look I reckon

    bit of an expensive way of doing things for no real gain. Choose one or the other or look at a Green forced air induction as they look better than the raceland

    Not the best picture but this is my Green Forced induction kit or Scoop.

    The advatages of the Green is only two things the fact you dont have to move the power steering bottle and secondly you get a Green cone. Thats it.

    Kam-Racing can supply the RaceLand items with a Green cone and moving the power steering bottle is very easy and for £200 its just not worth it!



    Please note that with the kit I got for my S I got no silicone tubing just the scoop, cone and a plastic tube to contect to the OE 90' hose to the throttle body. RaceLand item is much better value for money I reckon.

    hehehehehe

    Well, there is a funny story behind that. Its a SCS (I think) item (which is a slightly cheaper version of Samco) and it stated it was for a Phase1 so I though well its got to be the same as there was no difference between the Phase1 & 2 OE airbox setups so surely it was gone fit.

    Will, wrong! Instead of being a 90' it was more like a 60' which is obviously designed to have a Cone fitted to it so it doesnt rub on the side of the rocker covers. Im back to OE items at present but on the look out for a Silicone hose there at present.
