Shauns is from ebay, about £170?

They only use more fuel as the low end torque is gone so you rev higher to do the same, And the owners right foot.

Love it As said you do loose a bit of torque lower down the rev range, so you have to be in the right gear to get the powarrr. Starts pulling from around 4k all the way to the limit. I got mine from someone off here but you can get them brand new off ebay

Mine is a vx performance. Comes with the lot, other than bolts. But i can get a hold of these.

Forgot about needing a blanking plate but i have one of those too.

Will people get this thought that there is less torque lower down out of their heads! It might have happened to someone car who said it "felt like" it was down. How about a RR graph with a before and after??? Like mine....... BHP and LBFT were both up, lower down the rev range. If anything, it's 3/4's up the rev range where it's down after the Mantzel was fitted.
