Is that a 50mm intake under your bonnet or are you pleased to see me?

At last my Xmas present from her indoors got fitted to my 2.0 valver.

 

I was a little worried from reports that I'd lose loads of torque, but can honestly say it must be a small amount lost if any as it doesn't feel much different, that is until it gets to 4k RPM when it feels a much better and pulls harder. Would I recommend this modification, yes.

No problem at all as my mechanic mate did it, lol. Seriously it's bolt off/bolt on but you may as I did, want to replace all gaskets and injector seals at the same time.

yeah theyre a bolt on job no bother , just make sure the injector inserts and seals are new as old ones will be brittle

Ive seen the inserts on ebay for sale.mine look cooper tho or do they fit inside that

[steveo29 0]

I had one sat in my shed for about a year after my Valver was totalled. I offered it on here a couple of times for I think a tenner posted!

No one even wanted it at that price, so I binned it in the end.

Shame a post like this didn't happen at the time, as I'm sure someone would have benefited from it. :shrug:

Just buy shares in autosol

 

I got mine powder coated to avoid the need for polishing. Also replaced the inserts and o rings - fitted in order as per Steveo'.

I also fitted the 50 mm inlet plus the KR inlet cam last weekend, proper treat with my decat and chipped it seriously shifts now, I also did not notice the torque difference.
