ive got the one from nigel from ebay and its as good as any other "copy" on the market.You get everything you need and they dont foul the bulkhead at all.They also make a good noticeable gain over standard.

yeah you need to drill 3 of the 4 holes dont you and use the threaded rod on the 4th?You wont regret fitting it though.

You may want to invest in a catch tank at some stage too mate as running the breather back into the inlet looks a bit shit imo and puts the vapour back in and shits the t/b back up.Oh and regardless what the instructions say the icv and tps wiring will reach with a bit of re-routing round the lower inlet.

Whats different compared to a standard 16v inlet? Just the fact there is less of a distance for air to travel?

Would this fit a C14SE? If so worth while power gains over the standard inlet?

Thats a good gain for inlet design

c14se OE inlet is better than the c16xe OE one

You cant buy one.
If you look it looks exactly the same as your standard c14se inlet

After playing about with it...

you need to drill out the 4 mounting holes to a 7mm hole.

Then you need to modify the shape of the throttle body to allow you to fit a nut on the bottom stud. Lot of sanding with air tools lol
