Look back in this thread, Alex used a K&N style version for a short while.
£11 filter (70mm), £1 worth of cable ties = £12 saving you £70+

Back from the rollers at weekend!
We are up 8bhp and 15 ft-lb of torque with my new induction, and thats before any map tweaks etc!
Result 80 for a 5% gain, pretty decent.
Next up i think is getting the intake temp down a little further, we had 40 degrees in the intake versus 10 in the winter.
I no this is an old thread, but how did you attach the breather, where the "?" is ?? thanks.
OK so thanks to Adam (adamcot) who's lent me his standard airbox gear. I've now got the measurements and have ordered the parts I need.
Diagram below for anyone else who may like to try, including sizes parts and prices.

Parts from Auto Performance Silicone Hoses http://www.auto-performance.co.uk/ - Silver is Alloy, Blue is Silicone, Black is a standard part of the system and I have a lovely pink turbo.
Filter arrived today ahead of the rest of the bits (Love Royal Mail Muchly) sadly it was silver not gold, so me being me popped it onto the MAF but not before taking some before airmass readings.

Sounds totally amazing if a little loud (Linz hates the sound) but hopefully that will quieten when the pipework arrives and I can redirect the filter into some nice cold air down in the bumper.
Graph shows a significant increase with the cone onto the MAF and that on average there is almost a 13% increase in airflow.
Some of the After data points are all over the place as I think i became a little lead footed due to the sound, but all of the outliers are filtered out of the final stats below.

Sorry for being all scientifical but if I'm doing it then I'm proving its worthwhile.
I'll update this over the weekend once pipework is in place (Assuming it arrives) and maybe some stats from a GSR too. Which undoubtably will be better as the insides of it are 100% smooth and its not been designed by me![]()
