Hey,
I have a 1.6 corsa sport with a VX Performance inlet manifold...but the car doesn't seem to be that much quicker than a standard one. Is there anything else that shud be done to it to help the inlet?

with the inlet fitted the car will probably feel like it wants to rev more. For example it will still be pulling hard when it hits the limiter.


I raised the rev limit on mine to 7800 and it made a nice difference. But you also need to ensure that the engine is happy to withstand this. So I had ARP bolts fitted along with metal cambelt rollers.
Plus you could fit cams as well to make even more of the power. Its a viscous circle

If you have the newer style ECU with the removable flap you can plug a chip into it like I did. I got a Diablis one second hand off here






It was part of the kit that they sell with their inlets iirc
