if you have a k+n type induction kit build an airtight box around it with a cold air feed pipe from the from grille/bumper area.
better still move the filter out of the engine bay, don't know if it's possible with a corsa but i've done it on a previous car (moved filter into the innner wing) :thumbs:


what are u talking about u tit

u dont drill the side of the engine, u srill the side on the wing, do it dont let hot air in, thats the whole point, and its been proven that a dilled air box gives more power than a k&n induction kit, because THEY let in hot air

u can drill the air box and fit a new cold air feed to it so u only get cold air to it, easy to do

I've tried Drilled Airbox, K&N, BFO and Viper on my GSi and I would definately recommend the Viper( Bit overpriced though)

Then, as above decat, chip, inlet etc.:thumbs:
