neil20vt Unregistered N	Originally Posted by DidCoop Originally Posted by neil20vt Mine was 236 bhp with Gtec 1 and 1.2 bar. That was with a cone filter that was much too small for the car so now it is probably a little more - 245ish? Interestingly, the fuel economy was excellent with the too-small filter - much more thirsty now Erm no Neil totally wrong I'm afraid mate. On your/my 20vt I took the filter off as I heard a myth saying the filter was too small whilst on the dyno and it made the exact same power as with the filter on. On a standard turbo at 1.2 bar the filter size doesn't matter at all. If you're getting into the realms of hybrid turbos and 300bhp + then the bigger filter is better! I have the same filter that was on that car now on my 16vt and did the same test again and again same power. Please folks correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure a free flowing filter is a free flowing filter? Hi Mate It was Rog at PowerItalia who pointed out that the filter was too small and would certainly affect power at higher revs. I would have thought this makes sense - surely the larger the filter the more air it can physically suck in when it needs to so even among free-flow filters there are differences. Besides, when I fitted the correct size K&N I could feel the difference - again not low down or anything but at high revs it was far more free revving. I will get the car RRed at the same place as before (was 236bhp I think) and tell you what it is now.

DidCoop Unregistered D	Ok I'll be interested to see if it makes any difference Neil and if it does I'll go buy a bigger filter for my 16VT and you can say "I hate to say told ya so..."

weyland Unregistered W	Originally Posted by spit another coop or do you mean a new,NEW car? Paul Well, I hope it is a new car but it will probably be a nearly new car if not. The new Fiesta ST or Mugen powered CR-Z hybrid are front runners at the mo.
