mate just leave the piping on form the exhaust manifold and direct it away from the airbox and put cable ties on it to hold it i position. i have a pvd bfo cone on and thats what i did. As for the sensor place it somewhere in the engine bay where it will not get dirty and cover it up with something. thats what i did. I have a 1.2 8v. As juha said the ducting from the exhaust is for old start. It just takes ur engine a little longer to warm up without it. | |

are the wires and ducting an integral part of it, or can they just be removed? | |

it helps in cold wheather starting. it sucks hot air from manifold. | |

but my manifold has a pipe ducting the haet off the manifold to the airbox, how can i stop this from pumping out heat into the bay? is it just a cover that i can take off or doesn it have to be there? | |

how i see it is that when airbox is drilled, when you stop you get hot air from exhaust.otherwise, when you are moving, air goes around the enginebay and its not that hot... | |

ok they cost about £45 for a new corsa c airbox so i wouldnt worry. just drill holes about 1" on the side nearest the bodywork and drill about 10 - 15 holes | |
