Yes blue there is a difference and it is worthwhile doin I  did what your doin got some airbox bottoms from the scrappy ,removed the trumpet thingy
Drilled some 20mm dia holes in the sides of the box away from engine (heat) fitted a K+N panel filter found the car  more responsive better on fuel and the noise is pretty cool especially on the 16v above  :) 4k as Black_Gti says an exhaust helps as well, have full Scorpions on mine and fittin a 4 into 1 manifold on
Me valver when I have a bit of time on my hands don?t know if that`ll make it better but we`ll see

just unclip top of airbox remove the bottom half of the box  from the car and drill away apart from the side next to the engine  and ONLY do  the bottom half,u could fit some of the flexi ducting u can get  into the hole at the front of the air box where the trumpet piece sits and direct the hose down towards the front bumper to get a direct cold air feed, wouldnt say there is a huge power gain probably a couple of bhp  just found it slightly more responsive and a nice deep induction roar
