Have you ever done it ? I gues not from that reply, as its probably one of the best mods you can do to your furio for under £15 performance wise

Yeah its not epic performance gains, vtr injectors and and the silver top MK1 inlet is a nice upgrade

Before any cocky cunt tries and tells me it will over fuel, iv been running a vtr inlet for over 3 years no problems still get 120 miles all day on £15 AFR gauge also says things are fine

Go for it buddy if you need any help give me a shout! you also get some epic induction roar compaired to the furio standard inlet

Make sure your furios a single plug ECU car before trying to bolt on a single plug inlet,


And for the love of god. SEARCH next time its been coverd so so so manny times

How much do you honestly think you get from it? The standard VTR inlet isn't all that great. The injectors wont be making any difference either

If you can source the bits cheap and do it yourself then it may be worth while but don't expect miricles, you may gain 1-2bhp which in my opinion will not be noticeable.

Any performance gains will be in your head.

With the later 3 plug you wont be able to use any of the mk1 silvertop or black top inlets as the port spacing is wrong. Later 3 plug VTR might be alright

How big a difference? It'll need back to back tests on the same rolling road to prove this, as standard and then with mods
