Unplug and/or remove from air box

That's the best thing to do, the IAT is needed to calculate the fuelling.

What's the best way to get air to the cone filter??

Are you going to go for it then?

Would the air blast from forward movement not do that. I am wondering how the air is treated as it runs in that airbox under the wing..............warmed, coole or nothing?
I have already done that too!! :whistle:
I'd like to remove the airbox thing under the wing.

Cone filters are more for sound than performance as they suffer from sucking hot air from the engine bay.

on my previous car which was a ibiza turbo it was recomended to smooth the inside of the air box, fit a performance filter (k and n or some such filter) and a larger cold air feed which ran the same route as the standard feed. This was the choice over a cone filter for performance gains,if you were interested in just more noise everyone said fit a cone filter.

I smoothed the box and fitted bigger feed etc and it was noticably quicker and looked no different than standard,nice n stealth

does fitting a "performance cone filter" count as an engine mod therfore being notifiable to the insurance folk?!
