The exterior looks nice, however that boost gauge stands out a bit dosnt look very OEM. Also is that air filter pulling in any cold air at all? Looks like its going to suck lots of hot air in reducing power.

I'd agree with both of those points. That has to be the worst place to site an open filter...

+1

Get a proper air feed in there and give it a remap.

Why does it need a boost guage?, pretty sure if it was required Vauxhall would have put one in!.

Nice car though, I'd love to have a go in one.

agree no need for a boost gauge unless you are running more boost than standard, is it in there blocking an air vent now too? Think the car is a little too low as well. Good choice of car though.

why should it blend in?? then there would be no point in having it surely.

as for the filter car pulls better and sounds great.

Smart motor. That air filter is gonna loose you some power though - especially come summer time! Put the standard airbox back on it with a Courtney filter to match the hose kit smile

Is it Eibach springs you have on it?

Have you had it on a dyno before and after? I found when puting mods on cars your mind plays tricks and convinces you that it has increased power etc but in reality it has either very little effect or none at all.

Nice looking car. The front looks very low though mate. Have you not had problems on fast corners with the tyres rubbing the arch? I do agree about the filter, that thing is just sucking hot air in.
