and an induction kit just has a longer pipe, but there no real difference, just that the induction wud send more cool air through ur pipe, but u still get the same tone, my mate gave me this K&N as it didnt fit his car :D

Hey all, quick question..... I have a 1.0 litre with a drilled airbox. To be honest I think it sounds great and loads of my friends like its tone but was wondering is there any good induction kits or even a universal one worth trying for a more ferocious or raspier sound?! any ideas?!

its actually universal, u can get these an they are universal K&N's as sum engines have the same diameter throttle body, an noe i didnt need any adapter, its on as u see it, a simple filter with a metal cable tie which u just tighten on2 the neck of the throttle body, easy peasy oh an theres a pipe for the oil pipe 2 connect 2.

Its Powered through a 150watt power inverter I got from Halfords. The power inverter gets wired directly to the battery and the playstation simply plugged into the side of the inverter with the normal domestic 3 pin plug. The whole lot is hidden up behind the dashboard. Great job really and if need be I can plug out my ps2 and plug in my hair dryer ha only messin!
