Cant say many people will have mate.
What you really would want is the same car (VTR in this case) to test both
kits in the same conditions, then compare the results. But I guess it will take
time and money to do that which makes it quite difficult.
IMO I much prefer the BMC, better priced and takes much less room in the bay.
Looks better too!

BMC in theory should be better.

I wouldn't purchase anything on 'claimed' bhp gains. Best to buy the best made product with the highest quality filter.
