LMAO much quicker i think not. what engine is it? V6? V8? any gain you will make is lost once heat soak becomes a factor. standard airbox, drilled with half decent panel filter is best for performance, not some ghey thrwarping sponge

I Just put an Induction kit on my 1.2 8v. seemed to give me a bit more power mid-range revs but low and high is less powerful, and has dropped top speed too. Going back to standard box soon, i suggest ya do the same!

Induction Kit will do nothing really apart from make a noise. Might notice in the winter months a little better throttle response but thats about it.

What engine mate?

Seriously, on std corsa engines, the only real difference will be the sound

Restetting the ECU? The onl real thing that does is delete any old fault codes that are stored in it's memory. The ECU is self learning
