Fitted one of them £200 jobbies off of ebay...mantzel STYLE powerbox. Aside from some "suggestions" on improving the way it is constructed, its a good piece of kit. Can be a pain in the rear to fit though. The fuel tank vent switch and associated vacum and breathers all need to be reconnected and sometimes the provided instructions arent too clear.

The power gains are noticeable but with this device, only really after about 5k revs. Which is so close the redline that it isnt strictly useable. Not massively impressed and did cause a major fuelling/air intake headache.

Avoid using an induction kit with one...not a good idea.

Definately worth the investment though as good gains for the money.

Apologies for the seemingly contradictory information...the bad points were with fitting and setup...the good points were the cost and gains.

Mine is a lexmaul one so direct fit and no problems at all. Power kicks in low down so get all benefit and no problems

£300 though but can always get the money back.
