A bit of samco reducer from raldes £10 and a airfilter with th right ID for the AFM and bobs your uncle


Made throttle response much nicer.

Make sure you add the two pipes in the side of it though, as on is oil breather, and other is the ICV (although called the said) and if you leave it off car will stall when cold.
