There is sweet Fark all circulation going into the air box... We'll soon find out, it's an inexpensive exercise for my next free weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is lower than atmospheric pressure, there is a restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a pretty sight at allbut my thoughts are more that the cover is doing its job to keep the hot engine bay air out, but may not be letting enough fresh air in from outside the car, so I will probably do a run in normal form, then again with the air box lid off... But I'd also like to take advantage of any extra air it can get in normal driving conditions, so basically better channelling of the air towards the air box/filter as is done with the factory and FG GT/KPM intakes...

bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 09/07/15 12:07 AM Share Posted 09/07/15 12:07 AM I would be taking the drivers side fog light out and running some big conduit from the backof the hole (as the bumper fog light hole is bell shaped inwards and has the backing extended to connect the conduit to also!) up to under the headlight so it's forcing fresh air in as best as possible.Maybe also try removing the filter to see how it affects flow as the big problem is all intake pipes are right angles to the air flow and front of the car but whether this affects flow once on boost I do not know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
