Well said lacky, and-m, 4 cm's not 4 inches. No flat spots noticed yet. air feed is right under the holes about 3-4 cm's away, of which there is 9 underneath on the opposite side of the engine, and 3 along the lower edge of the airbox. Throttle response is amazing, instant power from 1500rpm, right up to the redline. All i have left to do is reset the ECU. | |

personnally i think it sounds better (although notas loud) it adds more of a sporty note to the engine (especially after 3000rpm) but the mainb point i have to make about this mod is the fact that it doesnt give flat spots and in my opinion adds better throttle response. :thumbs: | |

Do you think it would sound better than induction kit mate? What sort of filter have you got in the airbox at the mo and also is your air feed very close to the drilled box? I have the same engine as you and i find the engine heats up well quick with the induction kit thats on there at the moment. Flat spots a plenty aswell, as i haven't got round to re-setting the ECU! | |

Throttle response is up, 88mph in 3rd gear max, HUGE throbbing sound like a V8, it seems i have stumbled across the best setup. My girlfriend put her had over the cold air feed and she said it nearly sucked her hand up when i revved the engine. | |

its plastic and cost £7. Its household waste piping. Its 4cm in diameter. I have been out in my car since having it done. OH MY GOD!!!! such an awesome sound when you plant your right foot!!! It does sound like an impreza turbo!!! I had so many head turning moments in the space of 10 minutes! People with 1.6 16v engines, GET THIS MOD DONE!!!! | |

I am going to drill my airbox soon, and have bought some cold air feed piping from B&Q. Its just about 4cm in diameter, and i want to feed it from the left side of the bumper just in front of the wheel arch to the bottom left side of the airbox where i am drilling it. I know how to drill it, but i just wanted to know if this cold air feed will be sufficient when placed here? |
