    Just an idea, how about asking the seller? That's what i usually do. Any seller worth their salt will give the best advice & point you in the right direction if you're asking about the wrong item.

    All vectras have the same k&n panel filter.
    Apparently they can make a noticeable difference to throttle response and can up the bhp by a couple

    Less likely on a diesel, though.

    Now after having trashed the catalyser, it might be worth trying something on the intake side... I'll tell you if I notice any improvement.

    My airbox has broken brackets so it shudders like hell at idle (when the EGR valve opens). As I have to do something anyway, I intend to try a BMC.

    I wouldn't expect a massive difference, bit more turbo whistle if you're lucky and no more buying air filters, just clean, oil and refit.

    Still something interesting all in all. ^^

    Another major improvement I can see : easier access to the damn right side headlight.

    I doubt you would gain so much power this way on a diesel, but it could improve turbo response at low revs.
