I'm not sure what cable I have as everyone says the xe one sticks but I thought mine was standard, and I ran it under the inlet and then bought it up to the throttle and it's not kinked. 1.0l ones I have been told are the best for doing it

Kieran are those standard ancillary hoses and did you have to mod your bulk head to fit the powercap?

You make it sound as if its a bad thing. Ecotec pipes are better, not only because you don't have to cut the bulkhead but they also perform better
