They go loads better with one fitted, but I wouldn't say 20 hp, a good 10 hp.

Mine made 121 bhp on a totally standard x16xe. It had done over 100k and the rollers on the day where running spot on. It's not just the added power that you benefit from. If you see my graph it shows how smooth the power curve is which is nice and consistent on the road

Wasn't there one of the old schoolers claiming 160hp from an inlet and other mods.

I'm talking a few years back here

Pretty sure it was donna's car before it got the c20let in.(cupatea/daimo)

Reading that thread now, loling at that Daimo guy saying high compression pistons don't do anything (only half way through page 2 now) is this Daimo guy slow in the head? lol

I don't think changing the compression on a standard engine would do too much at all tbh.
