ok i have heard very good things about these but i have no idea what they are or anything!
Could somebody explain what they are, how they work, and how much they cost! that would be very helpful.
If i got one what sort of power increase could i expect from a 1.6 sport.
thankyou

Is that £475.00 inc VAT and then another £350.00 inc VAT for fitting, so your looking at £825! Bit more expensive than i thought it would be!
People who have them, are they worth it?

basically it relocates the throttle body and removes a hell of a lot of restrictive pipeing for them inlet system, makes the cra go like a 16v should do, good bit of kit for the money!

Hehe, well there's hundreds of threads about the Mantzel powerbox on here already.
Do a search in the Help and Mods forum, then after going into a thread, click the "similar threads" at the bottom of the page.
