With a hammer
[/QUOTE]LOL thats one way.
OK - so I have hit it with a hammer and dropped it in a bucket of water, still hunting - don't think there is an air leak but will take another look tomorrow........Doc, how are you getting on with your computer gadget thing? my ECU needs re-setting!!!!
Hi lee,
maybe i,m being silly, but have you pluged the connection on the air flow meter. and made sure you have positioned it in the right place. there is a pic on there web site.

Cheers KC, I will take a look and make sure - did the pipe create a 'humming' type noise on tickover - almost sounds like a turbine!!!
This one cost me £180 in all. Its the most direct cold air intake I have seen for the B
This will only fit a B thats battery has been moved.
Looks like my old dyson.
Doc's AFM is inside the throttle body - there were two different types fitted, one with the external AFM between the filter and intake and one with an internal AFM in the throttle body..........

I'd be interested in the induction kit, do we have a guide price? What about fitting and mapping at the same time?
I had a CDA but never got round to fitting it and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I still have standard induction at the moment. I'd be interested to see the difference it will make.

My intake can be made again if you want for about £180 + your CDA filer box. The hard part like I said before is the battery needs moving out of the engine bay and that is a easy but long job.
GSR make a good intake system but you have to use the filter thats with the kit.
Mapping is on the cards but I have a load more mods first before getting it done.
I have been looking at Unichip piggyback system.

Looks interesting, but the claim:
"Only UNICHIP is fully customised to your individual car, so only UNCHIP can get the maximum performance out of your car whilst retaining all the standard safety and diagnostic functions of your standard ECU."
Doesn't seem to be true. My chip was remapped to my individual car with it's mods. So they're not the only ones who can do that. I think oldschool's people do the same.
For the Barchetta, they seem to be the only ones who leave the original ECU programming in tact so it can be reverted to if needs be. On the other hand I think I paid what they're asking for a re-map and CDA fitted.
I'm not sure f I said it before, but I managed to re-site the CDA so I get a fairly good intake, but without the need to move the battery Obviously it's not as nice to look at as Doc's and it's slightly longer (ooh err Mrs).

As far as I know you are the only one on the fiat forum who has the B ECU mapped at the mo. The few Turbo B's that have been made must have had ECU work done.
Angel Tuning did mine. I also looked at Digital Tuning in Switzerland, they give the following figures:

What was the bhp output after the ecu mod?
