hi ive got a 1.2i spin the engine is standard bar a 3.5" back box but i want to get an induction kit, does anyone know if its possible to get one? the it looks like a carb set up but bolt on filters dont fit on any suggestions? ive pulled off a pipe leading to the air box which gives it a bit more roar

put that pipe back on and take the nosle bit that goes to the manifold area off. if you can then get a flexable bit of pipe to get some cold air in.

to be honest an induction kit on a small engine can make it run worse.

Get a corsa/mk3 astra spi top air box, that bolts to the TB.
Then a pipe from that with a induction cone on the end.

when i did that corsa box thing with an induction cone the car seemed to be much more noisey and didnt make it any better in any way.

then i had to change the injection system.

Very true, don't mess around with the engine, enjoy (read:thrash) it and save your cash toward putting the bigger engine in. An induction kit won't bring in a noticible power gain for the time money and effort spent.
