Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about the 57i kit.
I know we are not talking big gains but what can you typically expect from installing the 57i kit? 1-2 bhp?
It's not so much the power gains that Im interested in as much as how it changes the drivability.
Those of you with the kit, how does it change the driving from standard.

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Matt

I believe people with the K&N and a new flexi gained about 8bhp
There are plenty of topics on it

it will free the engine breathing up as it is very very restricted (have a look at the length of air pipe from front scoop to inlet - it's about a mile long !) anyway it will feel revier and sharper.

Definately feels sharper and revs better, thats the main thing over bhp.

as above. don't concern yourself with the power output, it's all about getting more air in the car and making it more responsive

As said above, Dont worry about the speed inrease, Will just make it sound more "beefy"

And it will remove the "flat" spot of your car, basically making it more repsonsive.
