Butterfly Valve Removal

[Baileys cream]

Hi,

I just had to get a new engine thanks to the lovely oil prob which has been a huge ball ache and cost me ***** loads of money and left me without my car for weeks! to make it worse while in the garage they found a slow puncture and I'm in need of a new clutch! Yay!

Anyway enough moaning, as any changes i wanted to make to the car have now gone out the window so could really do with any cheap and simple tuning tips anyone has to make me not hate the car! Lol.

Such as the butterfly valve, I have no mechanical skills and was wondering how easy this is to do?

Any other idea's would be appreciated...

Thanks

very easy to do simply undo the clips round the airbox and just slide it out. i think theres a how to on this forum somewhere thats how i found out how to do it

What will you gain from removing the butterfly valve? I know a butterfly valve is there to reduce the pressure and I'm sure it is there to serve a purpose?

you get a nice growl when u flatten the pedal just sounds asif you have an induction kit fitted. (if u do alot of motorway driving id leave it in thou)
