    No , none of these kind of mods will give you any real noticeable increase in power but it will increase induction noise a but, lower intake temperature and most importantly looks porn. If its a real increase in power you're after, get an eds ipf.

    What pod filter setup do you have?

    I wouldn't mind catching up and seeing how yours goes compared to mine...

    I have just a standard 3" pod which I've adapted from the stock piping (2.5" I believe) with a ghetto bit of pvc at the moment. I've got a crossover delete kit from TX the I'm yet to install, found it to be a good price and I liked the stainless bend that a lot of other kits don't have.

    Having some issues after installing a new dump pipe as per one of my recent threads, definitely can meet and compare once I've sorted it. We have regular meets here in SA as well, look up Opel SA on Facebook Click here to enlarge

    Just a quick one:

    With the astra turbo, if you take off normally in 1st and then floor it, with the traction control off, would you expect wheel spin as it climbs in the revs?

    I'm wondering whether I may be expecting too much for a virtually stock car...

    yes you would get wheel spin, but so does my wifes pug 4008 in wet weather.. there comes a point however where you'll get some grip with the tires. If your car is stock, boost is regulated by your ecu. There is nothing you can do about that other than a remap. Even if you jam shut your actuator, it'll go into limp mode.

    Depends a lot on your tyres, I have KU39's and they'll squeal and struggle for traction as the boost kicks in. That's standard including running the rear BCS so limited boost in first gear (get about 8psi)

    Then I'm fairly certain I have a boost leak/issue somewhere. You wouldn't even know it's turbo half the time. Getting sick of it already and I only just got the bloody thing!
