Alright chaps, I've been sitting in silence here for sometime watching the great progress that has been made on the induction packages.

I've just spoken to Neil at Intelligent Tuning for one of the ITG kits and put my name down on the list.

He said I was the first and also said that the 300 quid price was for 10. Not sure if we will get that many numbers but the list has started and I'm on it!

All we need now are a few more takers.........

Hi to everyone by the way, Dave here!!

Well there were 11 that said they were interested so we should be good. If we get stuck then i will ask (or get some of the others) on other sites to get the numbers up.

From what I gather......a induction kit like an ITG or a BMC are the more 'professional' way to take an air feed for the engine......and the system is quieter.

An open cone in the wheelarch is just as effective mod but can be easily half the cost. Only problem is the filter is exposed to the elements and can get dirty quicker being so close to the ground. If you like the roar sound then generally these set ups are louder than the 'enclosed' set ups like BMC and ITG.

There are lots of pros and cons with each set up......and overall the performance advantages are similar although the only true way to test the best system is to have one of each and rolling road all 3 on the same day and giving each set up a set time to adjust.

I personally am going for the BMC CDA even though like you I am unemployed at the minute and my bank balance in 'critical'

The BMC CDA kit that we have negotiated a price on consists of:

Carbon Fibre filter box (85-150)
Cold air feed pipe
85-70mm reduction pipe
70mm 90 degree bend
70mm x 100mm tube to connect to existing induction hose (this needs to be cut down to 30mm to allow space)


This is a bit of a Heath Robinson arrangement, which is why I wanted to get a proper hose made up...
