You can fit one to a supercharger but I like the 'whoooooosh' thanks

If you want a bit of 'noise' my good sir, get a K&N and Milltek CAT back!

fitting a K&N would also mean less mpg right?

Very good! Keep it up

Yeah I had better MPG when I fitted one

I swear by 60mm throttle bodies though! People hate them just because they don't get anymore than 1bhp increase in power but it's NOT for that! It's better airflow to the engine. Ever since I fitted one to my it got that little bit more airflow and it ran so much better! Also it solved my air to fuel ratio problem and my engine light went off and my running rich problem stopped

yeh you can buy fake ones but they would look a little stupid on a non-turbo as everyone would ask you about it!

so that's more mpg. i like the cone filter thingy but was scared to do any mods under the hood as i don't want it to consume much fuel.
