Hi Mark - welcome to torque cars. Have you thought of port matching the intake & exhausts - its fairly easy and you could also use that as an opporunity to spray degunking stuff into the engine head directly. In the vauxhall section you will get much more specific information - good luck with your tuning and keep us informed all the way so we can compare notes.

Putting holes in the airbox will make the car sound louder and may even introduce a whistle - removing the exhaust will also make it louder still! Noise doesn't mean your going faster it makes you feel your going faster

Putting a 2 inch hole in the bottom of the airbox will improve induction at higher revs - get a spare airbox from the scrappy and experiment on this there are cheap power gains to be had.

Hi Charlie - nice to have you aboard - I'm quite keen on the 220's - they are a fantastic drive. I had to sell mine though because it got a bit too expensive to run.

Hi Alun, really nice to have you along. I bet your GTi180 won't be staying standard for long For a standard car they are pretty good for a blat along the road.
