K&N 57i Induction Kit

[zdebx]

The problem is that K&N doesn't make 57i induction kit for a 1.8 (no idea why...), but I really want to buy one 

So what I'm thinking to do is get the kit for a 1.4-1.6. Just want to make sure that everything will be ok? I mean, what's the difference? It's just a bloddy air filter, right?

I will say it first...don't get an induction kit


panel filter f.t.w (with a drilled/smoothed airbox)

I like the whistle sound too much

whistle?  if you mean induction roar/rasp then drilling/cutting the airboxsounds exactly the same

Then what's the difference if I get the kit? Except the looks, obviously.

the eposed cone filter will suffer more heat soak from the engine.

But will it actually fit and work properly, if I get the one for 1.4/1.6?

There's 2 different air boxes fitted to the spi car's and I'm fairly sure most 1.4/1.6 have an old style pancake filter around the top of the spi unit where the 1.8 uses the same square (o/s wing) filter as the 2.0

Don't bother, also m1.4 and 1.6 I am sure will be different.

What about if I get the GTI one then? 

Here's my airbox:
