    Default Vectra Induction System

    From looking bout different websites iv notced things like panel air filters and induction kits are priced differently dependant on engine type. I was wondering if engine type really mattered and you could just but the cheapest kit? I realise the V6 is gonna have some diff parts but is there that much of a diff between a 1.8 and say a 2.2i?

    yeah I had one before i got the 150bhp diesel

    I had a k&n panel filter on mine cos I found out that the induction kits can play around with the sensors a bit

    Gonna get another panel one for this, maybe pipercross or courtenay sport

    Just remapped mine to 180bhp

    Where you get the remap done? I reckon you take away that flatspot it would make a huge difference! I was thinking bout the pipercross aswell I have to admit, done a bit of looking and there are a few horror storys with K&N

    I got it done through Map-Tech

    Go onto their web site and see my testimonial

    Great guys

    Gareth runs the company with great knowledge and experience

    They will come to your home to do it and mine was only £180

    Unless you are buying a closed system ie: simota, bmc or viper type then you will be best just de restricting the airbox & buying a high flow panel filter.
