yes it was running more than 135 from standard. this is possible and it does happen.

2 or 3 BHP more at the most, so that still leaves 13BHP gain!!

ok when using filter and zaust together u get better gains. using them alone u dont see the full potential. plus air filters aint that good anyway because of hot air from an engine. when he had the rr i assume he had the bonnet open? big fan pointing towards it?

ok i have misread a bit didnt realise u had both zaust and filter. but its still quite a high figure but probably possible. if u want some real gains then if u dont mind removing your cat do that. however u will need it when it comes to mot time. rr aint acurate for air filters. and imo the only reason i would get 1 is for the sound, not performance. if i wantd performance i would get throttle bodies, cams, chip (powerchip) etc..........

Yer you kinda miss read it a bit, I have a cold feed on my induction kit so its works well performance and sound wise.

I wouldn't get throttle bodies as they are over rated, Dianne from Ecosse has got rid of hers. Change the cams and alter the timing, modify the cylinder head and along with you exhaust air filter you can gain up to 170BHP at the flywheel. I found a company who will do all of this for a measly 1200quid, alot better priced than ya throttle bods and prob a better gain in BHP.

maybe but i was just stating some options. even with a cold air feed u can still lose power mind. zetec engines run hot and i had to reposition my whole filter to get as much cold air as possible. as well as a HUGE cold air feed.
