I am thinking of the GTT/JCW hybrid as i want to keep the existing box. However i have read some ppl have gone for the ITG filters so i am in two minds . I have read comments on other sites forums from people who are about to fit either of these  but unfortunately they have not come back to discuss their experience. I am appealing to you guys, what do think?Also, i have removed the 'flap' from the box and also the plastic bottom plug. While i find the removal of the latter to be slightly beneficial i find that removing the 'flap' is not to my liking. I find there is slightly less oomph at the top of the rev range  and personally i quite enjoy waiting for the scream of the supercharger to come and so the flap remains but the bottom bung removed. With either of these filters can i leave the flap on?.Any advice greatly appreciated  | ||

About a 5bhp gain as proven by cooper_sport on the rolling road day in Andover way back when Support Our Heros http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/ http://www.presentsformen.co.uk/product-PFM-Help-for-Heroes-Mug-6461/ http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article492159.ece http://www.artfund.org/queenandcountry/index.php http://www.santalash.co.uk/charity.html | ||
