Induction kits
Discussion
If you fit the pipercross vecta cone be prepared for NOISE. It will give you a little more power (2-3bhp) top end. I have just replaced my pipercross vecta with the viper which is a carbon fibre airbox connected directly to the side air vent. its much more expensive but seems to have smoothed things out nicely and is a bit quieter.
If you want my pipercross you can have it for 35 quid plus p+p

Hi All
I see PTP are offering their induction kit at a reduced price at the minuite, apparantly it gives "as much as a 9% increse in power at the rear wheels"

Not really true, this depends on what type of system you are looking at, if you are referring to the ITG/PTP air box induction kit the trumpet design on the airbox recovers air pressure, I know of a few people who have this kit and are very pleased with it. Raceline do an uprated air box aswell but this is very different.

The ptp airbox makes more power, but is expensive for an airbox. You can also go for a dirct to head throttle body kit which more a lot more power, but cost a lot more aswell. And 9% is much, when you test an airbox and use ice it gains far more torque so don't think it's superb. If you'r low on money I would definitly put in a K&N filter which doesn't use foam like the pipercross airbox. I'm right though?
The PTP item is apparently a bitch to fit and is a huge great thing, but is supposed to be fairly good - expensive though.
Pipercross viper - easy to fit, definate improvement on the vecta and I am very pleased with it - expensive though.
Raceline airbox is just a modified version of the standard box with an aftermarket panel filter and a bigger air intake - you could do it yourself for about 50 quid (including filter)- expensive though
if you are willing to wait for a few weeks there is a dutch owner that has developed his own filter based on the 'Hurricane' which has a fancy little impellor thingy which will retail for around 140 quid which if it works will be a bargain. I'll find the address of his site and post it back here.
Pipercross vecta, k&n, blitz will all free up a bit of power, and give some induction noise and are the cheapest option.

A picture of the filter can be found at www.lotusecosse.com/airbox.jpg
certainly looks the part, but we'll have to wait and see what the rr results look like.
