Can a mod PLEASE make this topic sticky, its a pain in the arse writing this out everyweek to help corsa owners!


there already is a sticky post but nobody bothers their arse to read it!!!

I would be tempted to say a pod filter would have the edge if it was adequately shielded and had 2 or 3 cold air feeds.

Its simply got a bigger surface area than a panel filter.

Or if you have a larger engine, is it then better to have a cone ?


its true for all engine I suppose

Basicly if you want the noise and a few BHP the cone filter

More pefformance drilled air box+ perfomance panel filter K&N

hard choice innit i really like the noise and induction kit makes:cool:

This can take several miles though. To get an instant ECU update, unplug it and leave it overnight, then in the morning plug it back in, and it will have to re-calibrate itself but DONT push the throttle when it sounds like its stalling.It will now be programmed to mix the perfect ratio of air/fuel.

I fitted a K&N one on my 1.2 16v it is quite nice.

I am going to try a PVD BFO though.

As for anything else to do after fitting it, just disconnect your battery for a couple of hours and then start the engine and don't rev it at all for a few minutes. (resets the ECU)
