Hi guys long time since I chimed in. I have Just had the water pump supercharger clutch and all belts done. It has taken a while for it to all settle down again after the work. Half the engine has to be stripped basically horrible job. Anyhow thought as I was approaching 45k it was time for some improvements to the Ibiza SC. Looking on Ebay I noticed some Ford ITG carbon fibre induction kits for sale and it looked the same as what I have seen fitted to the Ibiza and Fabia VRS Battery in boot. For £140 new old stock been sitting on a shelf for many years I thought id give it a punt and ignore the Ford etching on the carbon fibre. Well I am glad I did. This bad boy is bigger than the ones I have seen fitted to our engines previously but fits snuggly if your battery is in the boot like mine. I made a custom bracket and happened to have some old polyurethane induction tubing to use. It sounds nice a little deeper on ticker over but not intrusive at all. Less vibrations though peddles and generally smoother engine. More power!. I reckon a good 10 bhp increase the way she is pulling. Not much louder that standard box but more of a motor sport sound. I had to buy a 80-70 mm Alu reducer but the kit came with the silicone hose attachment. Overall I'm very happy and I think the engine is happier too keeping the induction temps down. I have informed my insurance company and the increase was negligible. Hope you like. Cheers. Alloy refurb incoming next!. Added photo of smaller ITG 1.4 tsi kit for comparison
