Bharat, except the Petes box everything else is visible which can lead to warranty issues. The Petes can be unplugged easily.

hi there. i own a punto mjd, as fiat fan said ,, a filter is a good upgrade but as its a diesel . putting on a aftermarket exhaust will pull out even more noise.which would not be very practical.
my opinions
1.go for a green storm or a k&n apollo.they are closed filter cold air induction kits.
2.the petes box
3. lighten her up , get rid of the heavy alloys.go for some lighter ones.
4.do a cluch upgrade
5.update the injectors.
and u will have a descent performing car
cheers

Kriss, the Punto needs to be revved to extract the best out of her, unlike the Swift which pulls like a locomotive train at just 2000RPM.

Great modification indeed. If this can make a car perform really good then it’s worth it. I got to check this out soon…

If i could correct, the punto has short gearing. Thats why its great to drive in teh city and feels sluggish on the highway. But you dont feel the acceleration benifit of short gearing beacuse the car is heavy

This is just the thing I have been looking for. With a filter and free flow exhaust my Punto will be a rocketship.

I have a Octavia with a Petes Box and it is performing exceptionally. I am having it since 50000kms now and I love the way the box changes the driving dynamics. This is the best piece of modification anyone can do to their modern diesel car.
