Ah yes. Going to need to block one of the inlet holes then 
Just fit a vacuum pipe with a bolt clamped in the end or something.

some on ebay are crap-but havent been on for a while. i know the cars around here runnin the inlets and they do make a big difference- i was sceptical at first but they really are quality.

it isnt bollocks, just cause your mates dont fall apart doesnt mean they all dont, and some do foul the bulk head.

Thinking about getting one of these, Are there any disadvantages to them compared to mantzel, lexmal etc? Some give better gains then others or are much the same?

lexmaul is better over a larger rev range. Generally a long intake is better for low rpm where a shorter intake is better for high rpm. Its all to do with air velocity.

He'll do me one for 170. Local like so if this VXpaul makes them aint he in manchester?!?! i is confoosed lol as this dude in stoke says his name is nige? fuck knows.
says it uses std throttlebody? he will fit for me but wants 310 fitted, not really as appealing at that price. i wanna know he knows wot hes doing, not just anyone fucks about with my car!
worried about 50/50 complaints regarding it being mint and others saying badly built... i dont want no shit attached to me engine, i want it to go on easily and run perfectly, no fouling of nowt.
interested in replies to this as nearly ready to buy one and get mechanic mates to fit it lol

VX Paul made the original "copies" a few years back, then stopped making them.
I think his touched the corsa bulkhead.
There slightly different to the ones on ebay now.

Yes i have got a VX Paul one from mig. It did foul the bulkhead but a hammer sorted that issue. It completely fine. Never had a problem except i snapped a bolt once. Other than that they're superb. Really do make a difference. I'll be getting TB's soon hopefully anyway. Can't beat TB's.
