QUICK HELP NEEDED WITH INDUCTION KIT QUESTION>>>>
I currently have a drilled airbox in my 1.0 litre 8v polo 6n.
Sounds good for a free modification ......... but i was up in Halford the other day and seen a universal fitting mushroom shape Ripspeed induction kit for just forty euro. I was thinkin of getting it to check it out because it was so cheap. It would no doubt fit under the bonnet and it said it fitted throttle bodies(think that is the right word) down to 60mm.....
I was just wondering what size is the 1.0 litre polo one and would it fit?! Also I dont know if I would have to do anything with the oil breather pipe?! not sure if there is a pipe for it on the induction kit..... if not what do I do?!
Quick replies wiould me much appreciated as I have a brief window to get to the shop tomorrow morning durning my busy weekend as it's quite a drive away.
THANKS ALL!

1stcarsapolo, this is my understanding of the breather system:
-Some exhaust gas will always escape past the piston rings into the crankcase.
-As engine speed increases, more gas (products of combustion) will escape into the crankcase, increasing pressure in the engine block.
-The aim of the breather is to direct these gasses out of the engine block, and back into the cylinders so that they can be ejected from the engine via the exhaust. It is a method of emission control.
-However, oil is being distributed inside the crankcase. You don't want oil going back into the engine (because then you'll be burning oil which would make the emissions very bad, and more oil top-ups are needed).
-There is a filter at the base of the breather system to stop oil going back into the top of the engine.

Firstly i would like to appologise as i am slightly drunk writing this but i still love my polo and lovce talkin about cars....Sound man thanks. I was off on the seacrh for a universal filter today. Found a few possibilities.... some mushroom shaped ones... I chose these as they would fit under the bonnet. Still not sure about the trottle body diameter and what adaptor I would need..... Think its about 55mm/60mm... Anybody help?! Cheers
i bought a universal filter for about £15 i just took out the panel filter from the airbox then fitted the air filter to the end of the feeder hose that goes to the air box. sounds good all i need is to fit the cold air feed and bodge up a heat shield cos where it sits is right near the manifold, near the right side headlight.
