Surely you could say leave well alone for every mod you do to a 306 for one reason or another! The gti manifold is a great mod to the 1.8 and works well when it's done properly. Only people I have heard that have had problems is people who have used the gti injectors. And it's pretty obvious that if you have a injector thats pumping more fuel than it should be, it's going to run like shit.
Can't stand it when people slate things like this just because they have heard it doesn't work well. Don't know till you try it your self do you Tom?
Well yeah, look at most of the big power diesels on here that spend more time in bits than on the road..........
It's not a problem if its your second car so you've still got transport, but when you're 'messing' with the thing that gets you to work/college/uni everyday then I just think the risks should be weighed against the assumed benefits. The reason I'm a bit wary of stuff like this is that one of my mechanic mates bought a std HDi a few years ago......and he done so much to it with turbos/fmics/maps/all sorts of stuff i didnt understand at the time etc etc....it was always broken (although it was 'probably' quicker than a '6 when running) and he completely ruined it and it had to be scrapped losing him a hell of a lot of money in the end....and that was a guy that should've known what he was doing. :think:
