Many people have an air filter with no cover? I have a K&N cone, similar to the picture just red instead

Sucking in warm air from the engine compartment.. thats the intercoolers job to sort out

Im not saying cold air isn't better, but unless your pro drag racing, you would probably never notice all that much

Jetex k&n was a rip off the jetex 1 is bigger and no as long so duzny hit the paint at ur top mount

True, true.. However, only 2 days ago a "tuning guy" who remapped my car gave me a proper speech about open air filter..

Sorry for the shameless plug but I am selling a GTI K&N replacment pannel filter that keeps the standard air box but increases performance. its doesnt make that awful induction noise that others make as well. some sound like its a 1 litre corsa driving by.

yours for £20 + delivery. PM me if your interested.

Obviously colder is better... but unless your going to a custom made job to front of the grill then a cone with an air feed will pretty much do the job...

If your going for gains go with a panel filter and a bigger air feed to the box...

If your going for sound go for a K and N or similar as it sounds tasty

Thanks for the feed back!

I think im going for a cone filter Chris, have you any old parts from your gti?

No sorry mate it all went with the car itself!

Jabba sport cone in a box (fabia vrs, yes it will fit)

i just use a k and n panel :/ mainly because of the location of it, putting an open cone there you will get lots of heatsoak as has been said. I'm sure you can get one in a box that'd probably be the best option

Use Jetex filter and leave the lower part of the air box in place with a pd160 intake works well never loose power and get a nice dump sound and turbo whistle too remove the sound deadening from the bonnet too makes it louder

I second this, definitely the best set up.

Never thought of that, any pics of that set up?

Yeash i would say this is the best set up too:)
