What ones do people use?

I've put the 1.2 8v one on mine and have been told the 1.6 is the one to go for.

I've drilled lots of holes in the side of the box. I was also going to cut down the tube in the top.

Do I need to upgrade before I do this?

Thanks for any help!

Ok found this! So in theory as I have blocked off the hole for the hot air from the old manifold I just need to increase the size of the diameter of the lid hole so that it gets more air to the engine?
