What people's opinions on this inlet for a xe? I'd quite like it as it would maintain looks of a standard engine which is what I want, but would like to add a lil more power too

Not seen that before, what power gains is it supposed to produce?

Got a link of it for sale?

Here a link, it's £833 actually! Not worth it, but maybe there could be cheaper copies!

- Allows power to be extended to the higher rev ranges, no more tailing off of power at high rpms!
- More power at the same boost level.
- Gains of upto 60bhp at high rpms on high boost cars
- Sustained low rpm power and torque
- Direct Bolt on fitment
- All gaskets and small fitting parts included.

I wonder if it actually can give up to 60bhp gains.

I know a guy on mig was experimenting with just the inlets and was getting 200bhp out standard XE's

60bhp would be maybe on a let! I'd say I'd could give a good 10-15 bhp on a xe! What I like is can keep factory looks of xe, but I wouldn't pay that price at all lmao

For that money could probably get a set of bike tbs and cheap management? Trying to keep the standard look of the engine and wanting power is not really going to work sadly.

You'll never see huge gains without doing something drastic to a n/a. Unless you combine a few mods at once.

For that money I'd slap cams in and a map. Much better gains. And still no difference in looks
