Good bit of kit for the money if you can't afford TB's. They do work quite well especially at around 4.5-5K. thats one downfall though, the power is at the top of the revs.

From what ive herd on here they seem pretty good. You will notice the gain higher up in the revs. I have a lexmaul on my X14XE and there is definatly a difference but I'm used to it now.

A mantzel will work out a lot cheaper than TBs

i had one on my 1.4 sport, you notice a huge difference form around 5k revs. i would definitley recommend it, i had my car re-mapped aswell which i'm told makes the inlet more effective. not sure if thats the case though. i've yet to here a bad report about these.

Anyone got any dimensions on the mantzel.
Is it true the ebay copeis are a bit of a poor fit?

Some e-bay copies had the wrong angle for the Throttle body so it hit the bulkhead. Plus some have fell to bits.
