Did this yesterday and I have to say what an improvement in pulling away in first gear not to mention the change from 1st to 2nd. So much smoother, I was generaly suprised by the difference.
For the last year of owning the car I have had a small problem with loss of power (only for a split second) when pulling away in 1st. I would never know when it would happen but caused me a lot of grief at roundabouts with people behind me wanted to go.
Since removing the top funnel I have done a 120 mile stop start trip and so far no loss of power at all. I would have normaly got it several (if not more) times as I do the same trip each day.
Also the car in its self seems smoother to drive oddly enough.
Im still on 38.1 mpg (1.8 vvt)
All in all im very happy with it so far.
