GSR at present doesn't produce any induction kits for the Punto mk1.

I've got a nearly new BMC CDA for a 1.6 Bravo that might fit on there, need to do a bit of research - these are one of finest induction kits you can buy. If you want a look give me a shout.

at least i no about gsr coz,and let me look into the bmc if it will fit and does any have a k and n 57 induction kiton there sporting 16v and set it up the way the k and k instruction say if so do you have a pic of your engine.mick

Seriously mate don't get a K&N induction kit, they're crap. They may sound good but your performance will get worse and the thing will get really manky as it's exposed to hot engine air and dirt. I had one for 6 years, wish I'd got rid of it alot sooner. Never again will I get an induction kit that isn't enclosed.

As far as I'm aware BMC are the ****, but it really depends on your budget.

Stuff performance...wack a K&N on there and scare small children, old people, animals and neds!

I love my K&n and know loads of folk who wish their cars induction sounded as good!

Well worth the money even if it does use up slightly more petrol, and the performance is affected ever so slightly! You'll have a smile on your face evry time you drop the clutch and hit the gas!

Arse! The roar off the BMC is comparible, if not better than the K&N. When I swapped mine I noticed much better low rev pull and a nice throaty roar at high revs...in other words K&N suck balls

Yup shame to one you've got doesnt fot my HGT or i'd snap it up!

Physically it'll fit but the cone inside is not long enough to get the required amount of air in apparently :?

Yup it wont fit to your alfa either because of that, and i guess the couplings would need modded too.

needs more air for more fuel Happy and Sad at the same time, more fuel = power = cost.
