Ok so I've finally decided that my punto is not supposed to kill cupras , and i'm not gonna throw the HGT engine in.I'm into giving my engine a bit of ups though!!:slayer:First thing I thought of , is a more free air filter(like a k&N one).What do you think about em??Everybody just refers to them as being a very good thing to have.I have my doubts though...Won't dust and little piece of garbage be able to get into my engine??Plus , how much job can just a filter do?Shouldn't I reprogramm my ECU(sth I'm terribly scared of-bad experience with electronics)in order for my engine to allow more air to be burned and work under the new conditions???Any negatives??Your thoughts?
Thanks punto mates
*I tried posting at the punto owners group , in order to give some life to it but it didn't work..What kind of issues are we supposed to discuss there??*

if you want a bit of umf.. get a gsr induction kit along with a remap on the ecu.. then get a new exhaust system too allow the air flow to go out better

I thought so...But that's gonna set me off about 1grant right??What about reliability?

do NOT thats do NOT get a K&N air filter they are the worst EVER!! value for money honestly get the focus induction kit if your on a budget if not go mental and get a GSR induction kit you cant beat them!!

Yeah I know..Just mentioned them as an example in case sb hadn't understood what I was talking about
Thanks mate , if I do it I'll possibly go for the GSR as it's the one I constantly hear good words about..

Sth more-Cause you possibly don't know it , as we've never discussed before:About the 2 thanks , I'm not stupid , nor am I that fast!It's just that everytime I hit the button , 2 thanks get rewarded(don't ask me why..)

Thanks a lot for searching this for me mate!It's fantastic indeed.But I've got the sporting with the 16 valve engine!..And I want to gather some money so that I can do the filter/ECU/full exhaust system upgrade altogether..
