i wouldn't be so sure, its a long way to carry an air feed, maybe if you sealed the sock in a box and carried an airfeed to it

Fair point, i did say a good air though.

Moving the air filter with a pipe like in that pic would be better in theory

Regardless of the apparent increase, it just seems very bodgetastic fixing a sock filter to the TB and chucking in a cold air feed.

A gain is a gain though, its a better idea than chavs at halfrauds sticking on go faster bits and ebay resistors or even fans in the induction

Doing it this way is far better than sticking a filter at the back of the engine.





Think about it, EVERYONE knows you need to get the air filter as far away from the engine/heat as possible.

Yeah i agree with you aswell but you have to admit just fitting a sock over the TB that sits at the back of the engine isnt exactly smart.... if it was so good then im sure someone would have dont it by now.

Fitting a pipe to the tb and directing it away from the engine with a filter on the end would be better imho

Cut a hole in the back of your glovebox and turn that into your airbox and have a fan blowing into it

no, as the c20 doesn't have a restrictive inlet like the c16 x14/16
