Fog light cold air intake works better as it has a pretty much direct route to the airbox. From the bumper it has to curve upwards a lot which is not as great. With regards to water intake, you need to drive through knee deep water at speed to even come close to getting water up the airbox.

Fog light does look cool ,knare did you do your impressive dyno run with this mod as to me the entry seems a touch small  :undecided:

Dyno run was done as the car stands (except I've ported the throttle body since). The entry is 50mm in diameter iirc, which is not huge, but because it's such a straight path to the airbox it is worth putting there.

Fair play mate,didnt think is was that big tbh,so the way it is positioned it must have some ram air effect at speed :cool:

Well the fog light casing is funneled inwards, so that helps a lot. Otherwise I would have put an intake trumpet.
