i'm realy not sure about the induction kit, it seems to suck in hot air from under the bonnet, next to the engine, rather than, cool air from out under the wing, surley it also represents a risk in deep water?

when moveing the air under the bonet is moving. so not hot air.

the intake is higher then standard, as the intake in the wing is lower.


i am looking into a raised air at the mo. but no idea if ill ever do it.

interesting ideas, but not strictly true, if the air is moving it will still be warmer than air sucked straigt from outside, and surley the turbulent air will increase the reisk of sucking water in? aren't induction kits like this aimed at road cars? It's a gamble i would be carefull about taking

Good boy, you've been listening!

the mans right Plank - been hearing these arguments for years.....best response is that these things are very widely used by the rallcross and other motorsport bodies...if they work in their conditions they'll work anywhere. Pipercross, K&N etc.. have been around for years and have too much history behind them for there to be any real doubt about their effectiveness.

Try one and you'll see what we mean. Not only do you never need to buy another filter but the instant and permanent 2mpg improvement that I got on both T2s I fitted one to, mean it pays for itself in about 8-10 tanks of fuel.

Then stop woofing your tea down. Have you been to Barking today? Park your hush puppies by the door and have a biscuit - no not that one! Down boy.
