My mechanic completed the install yesterday and of course I have to now order the manual cruise control cable which I will do shortly, I don't use it that often anyway.

The only problem now is the air intake.

The air inlet on the throttle body is bigger than standard so the rubber air intake tube had to be stretched onto the inlet. This means it is out of shape and I think it is affecting my fuel consumption. Certainly the fuel figures on the digital read out are all over the place. Last night whilst stationary at traffic lights it shot up to 17.5L/100k so it can't be right. I will be lossing a little horsepower as well.

Can anyone recommend where I can buy a short ram tube that will fit the throttle body I only need the tube as I already have a K&N filter.

I must say it has made a big difference as it pulls a lot harder now and when I light it up it sounds even better.
