That was simply an intake/plenum, and used a 1.8 small throttle body, proving that power is not necessarily found in size of, or throttle bodies, but rather design of the intake trumpets from plenum and volume of plenum along with venturi design and bellmouths.
so was that the only mod on the car then?
