Had my 91 UK mk1 for 2.5 yrs now and I have on my list of things to get done before the car comes out from hibernating an induction kit. Running standard at the moment and I want some advice on what people here think are the best options. I wanna keep it sub £150-175 please.
I like the aesthetic of the typhoon which I believe will fit with fettling but if its looks over performance I'd rather stick to one that performs the best. Also I'm a bit of an EBay shopaholic and don't tend to look around for bits for my 5 so if anyone can suggest the best suppliers to go to Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

Here's a Typhoon fitted on mine. Not sure what performance gains it gives, but it looks and sounds great.

Despite what they claim, none of them really give any noticeable performance gain. Get whichever one you like the look of most as they all sound good and it's the sound people buy them for.

And I think a K&N product can be relied upon. The filtration is more important than the noise and looks. The position of this looks better than the foam alternative in my car by the way. Slightly further from the exhaust manifold!
