Fitting induction kit

[Nimbus117]

Just spent two hours trying to fit a EurocupGT highflow induction kit. What a nightmare, was impossible to get at. In the end I gave up and put the old one back on as one of the jubilee clips thread was stripped - perils of second hand off ebay. Has anyone fitted one of these or something similar and can offer some tips? I just couldn't get sufficient access with the roof in the way.

Thanks

I managed to get it in. Attached the rubber hoses to the intake and throttle body then attached the two aluminium pipes with the bellows outside the car then manoeuvred them into place. It's very tight and fiddley.

I would say this isn't as much of a benefit on 2003-2004 cars as the earlier ones. The intake muffler on my car is much smaller than earlier models. I got this cheap on ebay so all's good, definitely wouldn't spend £200 on the kit otherwise.

It does make a difference, the induction roar at full throttle (even at low revs) is more noticeable, no difference to noise at lesser throttle. The engine felt wheezy at high revs before, feels stronger right up to the rev limiter now. I severely doubt the 20bhp manufacturers claim, maybe one or two max but does sound meaner!
