Nope, this engine (the one in the Autospeed article) has all the air it needs already. Improving the flow in this case made no difference at all. Adding fuel (via the remap) added the power.
I have seen loads of postings on Skoda forums where people with my car (PD130) have fitted the PD160 intake and say things like "wow". But no A-B-A testing and no before / after dyno to back it up. The PD160 replica intake made as part of this article made no difference, in fact it went worse.
There is no agreed international calibration for the butt-o-meter
