Considering our cars are similar in basic spec (NA8 Clubmans with similar kms) that gives around 6.7kw for the CAI and exhaust combo (since my stock car got 66.9kw) - or about a 10% improvement.

Not too bad just for helping the engine breathe a bit better. :)

I wonder what extractors would add to that?

When's the next dyno day? :D

Didn't R.D's NA8 make similar power to Fuzzlets? It's a 95, but stock... how does that work?

No idea. :) Fuzzlet's and mine are both on about 190,000kms - maybe they're just more worn out. I think Fuzzlet was considering a rebuild so maybe we can see what difference that makes.

I never dyno'ed the old 1.6. It's one of the reasons I've kept the NA8 stock up to now - so that I can a more objective idea of what the various mods are doing.
