    Default VT Induction

    Hey own a 1998 Commodore Vt s and was just wondering with the VTs already coming with OTR induction, whether it is worth getting an induction kit from say SS or something like that? or is there some way you can improve the already existing one?

    Thanks

    waste of time buying as ss induction kit... infact they reduce the amount of air force... hence they are nicknamed commonly ss REDUCTION kits... do a search up on the forum thers somethign called a "2 hole mod" that heaps of people have done.. ther is a how to section it should be in there... cheap, relativley easy if u have the knowledge and hand skills yet much more effective

    cheers

    theres a how to on here somewhere about cutting up the stock opening to increase air flow, I've done it to my car but havent noticed anything except the sound of the air rushing in has gotten a fair bit louder.

    this is it, except I've also taken a chunk out the bottom of it too since the pic.

    use alloy and it will cool the air more.
    weld fins inside with a nice curve and it cools more
    i do as the voices tell me
