well i didn't have an air box so no and your telling me a CDA does nothing and yes maybe so but just as cheap as a 2nd hand decent air box so not really a loss for me apart from more room in my engine bay.

A slit in the bonnet will help the car breath easier at higher speeds as it will force air in. I wont be doing a air tight air feed it will be gapped for the air to flow in the correct direction toward the BMC CDA not directly into it i have been looking at many ideas so i don't flood my engine on a rainy day.

you will get more air being "forced" in with an open cone and cold air feed from the bumper then you will with a hole in the bonnet and a cda with a really small inlet, unless of course you are going to be adding a massive scoop to direct the air into the hole, the difference between the surface area that the engine can breath through is quite big

of course you want to look like a boy racer - bonnet scoops belong in Tesco car parks
