main reason why I ask is I was wondering if the car did infact have a Verso on it... or if it's just had it whacked on and no tune done... and if so, is that going to damage anything.

Looks like it's not, and probably not money well spent...

Are the late models in fact so pathetic that a pod will kill a donk?

Scaremongering at it's best...

Provided the diameter of the pipe is the same as stock, I don't see how it would be any different and require a retune?
Admittedly, you're not going to get much out of the mod, but I for one enjoy the vacuum cleaner-like intake noise so I wouldn't have a problem with fitting one, even with stock turbo etc!

Kym, no this is not a verso v ecutek spiel but i had a verso on my betty (still do as i have done nothing to it lately) and i would highly recomend not getting one on our cars, it seems that the ecutek is better with the e-throttle and the verso will be/seem laggy (or thats what we found!)

but the verso did make good power!

^^ Yup... I have been told by several different mechanics not to bother with the pod filter as the stock/factory unit is sufficient. Like you mentioned above it has absolutely no effect in terms of Horse Power... it does look cool though haha.

I found a difference on my car pod with enclosure vs factory airbox with STI group N panel. Seemed slower to build boost with factory. Seat of the pants anyway. So it does have some effect.

one other net effect is the pod makes tuning more difficult I believe
