    I think the larger ones allow the turbo to suck in more air. I fancy a do88se one at some point as I've heard they're very good. Parts for Volvo's sell them.

    James, do yourself a favour and stop starting your replies with "I think" you might get less abuse that way, if you know then say it if you don't then don't.... Simples

    Ooohhh James faceoff....

    You need to be careful fitting a larger inlet to an unmapped car as it can cause lean running (although mine didn't).
    Branding makes little difference - they all do the same job. What you do get is lots of lovely induction noise

    I think New Zealand is a nice place.

    I think Pizza Hut are good value for money.

    I think the weather has been pretty good the last couple of weeks.

    I think I might might put my feet up tonight.

    I think the statements made above demonstrate my point nicely. Will they generate "abuse"? I don't think so.

    Point made.....

    I think everyone is entitled to give their opinion provided they're polite and reasonable in their approach in doing so.

    Doesn't matter, "I think" is someone's opinion. If I rounded up all the "I think" comments on here I think (there it goes again), you'd end up with egg on your face.....

    You always have to have the last word don't you, All your posts and advice today have been corrected by someone, does it not make you think that the rubbish coming off your keyboard isn't wanted or needed on here, what people want is proper advice, not your 'opinions'.

    Careful Colin, you're closing comments could be construed as an attempt to 'bully' me off the forum. I advise caution plus I don't want to see this gentleman's thread wrecked by forum politics.

    Just a matter of time before you throw your dummy out and leave for a week or two as usual.

    Colins comments could be taken the wrong way I agree they do come across as harsh in text but you've meet him and would understand frustration James, all people are saying is by all means comment on threads that's your right as a forum member but don't guess your answers on technical stuff, I for one only reply to something technical if I'm 100% behind my reply the rest of the time I post crap

    I think New Zealand is a nice place. Have you ever been? if not you may be far wide of the mark.

    I think Pizza Hut are good value for money. You may think that, someone else may disagree, so it's not fact.

    I think the weather has been pretty good the last couple of weeks. Surely you know for a fact whether the weather has been good or not, why the ambiguity?

    I think I might might put my feet up tonight. Again, you know whether or not you'll put your feet up, so know need to think.

    I think the statements made above demonstrate my point nicely. Will they generate "abuse"? I don't think so. They don't demonstrate anything other than you write "I think" alot.

    I think the larger ones allow the turbo to suck in more air. This suggests that it may allow the turbo to suck more air, but you're not really sure.

    I think the last statement is typical of the one's people have problems with, you're never sure if what you're writing is fact, so the "I think" prefix is a get out of jail free card for you, as if anyone challenges what you wrote, you'll just say you weren't stating it as fact.
