A New Induction Kit for Cupras

[Havok316]

Just readin my chav mag and K&N Have introduced a tailored induction kit for ibiza cupra, civic type R, impreza, mini coop, astra VXR. Normal BHP increase is 8 bhp but apparently with revo you can achieve up to 20 BHP increase, i aint going to believe what i read lol as im sure it cant be achieved. Anyways the kit is called K&N Apollo full induction including cold air feed. Looks nice but does it really live up to its article?

This thing?

Can't be any better than the usual candidates for the Cupra i wouldn't have thought.

Aswome GTI stock it as a universal induction kit @ £155, if i were you i'd go for the BMC CDA

 

[Havok316]

yea they were universal but now taylored for each vehicle larger pipes etc

It's an induction kit...it's never going to add anything near 8bhp...let alone 20!

Oh I'm sure they could 'Prove' their findings on a suitably dodgy rolling road

they dont even look anything special, same as a dynatwist but with a smaller cone!

every test i have seen on fords with CAI's have shown better results with a panel filter and drilled standard box. Strange.

I love it when people play performance lotto. Ie my car must be 200bhp as it has a 10bhp gain from exhaust, 10bhp gain from cat, 11 bhp from induction kit, and now 20bhp from new aerial.

Not to say 20bhp from a resistor from ebay!
