Technical Induction kit help!!!
He did say "most of".
most would be more than half, its a big claim to make on guess work
I think that's probably about right -- after all, the first half is always the easy half, as any tuner will tell you.
Once upon a time all tuning was done by seat of pants. Until someone wants to allocate some dyno time to squabbling about 5bhp or so, that's the way it will remain.
but we dont know how much heat that the thin metal pipe holds

General feeling, there is a bigger difference between the focus kit and the stock air filter than the focus kit to the GSR. The focus system loses out at lower rpm compared to the GSR but is almost as fast as the taco disappears into the red.
If it holds it, that's a good thing! Real question is, what's the temp differential between the air inside the pipe and outside. If it's lower outside, then it may actually be disipating heat.

Edit: Found a better pic in another post
Not exactly the same kit, but gives me a better idea of what its gonna be like to fit.
Just need to figure out what to do with the little metal strip things now

Use one of them to attach to the bolt above the coils to hold the filter in the correct place.

Something like this?
Red thing = bracket thingy
blue thing = metal jubilee clip thingy
I have the hole as well

However make of it what you will from the image. (couple down) Different engine i suppose though
Will have a proper look tomorrow to see if it has any use.

That should do it. On the kit I got there's a thin silicon band which you can fit round the pipe, which would be better than clamping straight to the pipe.
The later Fords and Vauxhalls have some kind of sensor (maybe an air inlet temp sensor) where the hole is.

You won't even need to bolt it down for a test...don't think arc gsr is fixed either?
See if you like it first, and if not sell it on

For a test, that's OK. But the filters on these sit very close to cables, wiring and such and will eat them (and be eaten) if allowed to wobble about.
The GSR isn't fixed -- eventually they wear holes in themselves (the silicon, that is). The one on Blue2 is close to wearing through.
Not fitted properly.
BTW the pipe size needs to be in the right proportion to the airflow. We are talking about puls charge!

Suspected as much. Mind you, this one looks as though it was second or third hand when fitted.

well after an hour of getting oily, and swearing alot in the rain, I have come to the migraine fuelled conclusion that this thing just does not fit.
Have tried fitting the filter to either end, and positioning the damn thing at every angle possible - but this is far from the advertised "one piece simple set up, designed for mpi seicento..."
Gonna email the seller and inform him of how much of a tool he is, and that I want my money back.

See if he'll swap it for one of the original Focus ones (like in the photo). Me and a 13 year old girl managed to fit it in 20 minutes.

Thing is mine does look like the one in the photo - it just doesn't fit - the filter ends up where my headlight is!!!
The tubing is just too long!
dont you just chuck the reducer in the bin an fit bend straight on?
I remember Il Presidente on CC having to take a hacksaw to his to reduce the lenth a little and, in retrospect, mine would have benifited by an inch or so coming off.
