The CAI is what it is...not so sure on the boost controller.

With it being so low down and close to the wheel, I'd be a little concerned about hydro locking tbh mate.

boost controllers are bad news for 20vt the standard controller is pretty good, also as said the feed is a bit low to the ground, also I'd suggest getting a scoop or something rather than putting the filter so low otherwise it wont last 5 minutes in the winter

Looks like the standard ebay cai kit, it would be wise to fit a better quality air filter.

Manual boost control isn't needed unless you are running a lambda sensor straight to the cab and plan to adjust boost to hit 14 as you are driving along (which your ecu is more than capable of doing, and does do daily). As for the air filter..... that location is just silly.  :undecided:

Why  :huh: loads of people on here and on other forums are running them all ok.

I came close to fitting one to mine but the horns got in the way.

I would of through airflow tucked down and behind the bumper would be no different to inside the bay. Just more likely to suck dirty air in.
