Well i had a good play at the weekend with my cold air feed options and this is what i came up with.
I have 2 40mm feeds into the bottom of the airbox from a low down scoop positioned by the intercooler in the nearside wheel arch:
Finished and in position for some cold sucky action!!
You have to excuse the use of some handy duck tape to correct my mistakes. I misjudged how much i would be able to twist the pipe to fit into the air box!!
I also fettled with the oem feed and provided som air through the arch liner - looks like a speaker i know:
The verdict - well it certainly isn't any worse and i think when on the move there is a noticeable difference in the response department. (Although i did fit a brand new standard panel filter aswell)
It isn't laggy atall off the lights so there is no heat soak being suffered - trust me i was sat in traffic for 1/2 hr last night @ +29 degrees C.
I'm glad i did it but if you don't want to hear your d/valve woooossshhhing, leave well alone, as it is quite vocal now changing at 4k revs (With windows up and stereo on you won't notice it though).
I'm glad i did it and think there is a more positive feel when sticking your foot down while on the move for sure!
