what air filter did you get? as cone filters dont do nothing on the 8v, best to get a panel filter if anything or just keep it standard

not on the 8v it wont. and i would dash the cone filter, just get a nice panel filter. if you want to go down the route have a look at modding the air box (putting holes in it).

you will benefit more than the cone but it wont be amazing

if you love the sound, buy yourself a vr lump and do the conversion. the vr sound is immense

Got to admit it's getting a bit tedious!

Basically the 8v is not a tunable engine at all, a remap is pointless and a cone filter may sound better but will do absolutely nothing for performance. If you want to squeeze a couple of extra ponies out of it then give it a really good service, stick on a stainless steel exhaust, put a panel filter in with a cold air feed and you may see an increase in power.

Alternatively you could change the camshaft and run more aggressive cams, Khare saw about 138bhp with a Kent Camshaft. A remap would also be beneficial if you do this.
