I have a 206cc 2.0.

I am looking at fitting an air induction kit. i have seen the k&n 57i and it sounds good, does anyone have one? is it good? does anyone have any other suggestions other than k&n?

also i am thinking about a superchip, again any tips suggestions?

other than going all out and fitting a double pipe exhaust, turbo etc do you guys have any other suggestions on how to get the most out of my 206?

many thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!

I have tested the K&N 57i for the 2.0 CC and it does not work..It actually looses you power...

However I would recommend the ITG "Maxogen" filter at £330 that I have shown to give a 6bhp .. Or the Pipercross "Viper" at £250ish that will give U about 4-5 bhp increase..

Both of these are totally isolated from the engine bay heat.. Thereas the K&N is not Isolated

I've had the ITG fitted to mine for 2 years now.. and have had no "warranty" problems.. However that does not say that other dealers will not see it as a problem..

The ITG one is available from http://www.itgairfilters.com/maxogen.asp

The Viper available from Demon Tweeks, Extreme etc etc etc

Well some dealers and manufactures exclude mods etc from warranty and the :) usual stance is any defect arising from the fitment or operation of that component will not be covered.

Which one sounds nicer?! lol! I was contemplating getting the ITG, didn't realise the Pipercross wouldn't lose power either.

all a filter does is improve the cars breathing thus alowing iy it run more effiient and produce more power. it will affect ya warranty BUT it is un detectable once removed. :rolleyes:
