Fuel leak eh? On the return pipe or the feed pipe?
The new inlet will improve throttle response brilliantly but like you have noticed - it will affect the powerband somewhat, with a good initial response and then a fairl sizeable flat-spot.
Being lower displacement than the 2.0 GTi6 you haven't got the oomph to push you out of that rev band so you do have to keep the engine singing to make the most from it. Haven't read anywhere about you planning a de-cat system yet, but don't be tempted by it.
Pro's-
Lots of noise. LOTS.
Pops, bangs, spits, FLAMES
Con's-
Loss of driveability, no low-range pull, difficult to drive around town and impossible to drive quietly...
Upsets the fuelling somewhat and can eat lambda sensors up. This destroys already poor MPG...
Still have loads of pics from my project on both the 1.8 XS and the cabriolet which I bought so have loads of pictures and remember most of it too...Bane of my life that engine!
