Air filter / induction kit question

[Wayne]

Quick question, is this set up any good with keeping the bottom section of the air box.

Also would a foam / dry filter be better so as not to knacker the MAF.

(I know btw this a BAM engine)

I'm running an 80mm Jetex filter with a reducer for the 70mm MAF. To stop heatsoak I bought this from eBay: 140738085256

It sounds awesome, it also feels like the turbo spools sooner.

Thanks for the quick reply, I have saved the ebay item.

All the Seat Cupra lads seem to love the Jetex filters. Bill at Badger5 does pretty good deals on them which is probably why. I know prawn on Audi-Sport got about another 12g/s MAF flow with one fitted so they should see some gains IMO.

One more quick question, what did you do with the SAI pipe which fits on the airbox

run a cold air feed from the front grill into the airbox

Get a little breather filter to go in the end of the pipe I bought a 25mm and it didnt fit so its duct taped on atm. Ive got an 18mm one on order which should fit. People get too hung up with the whole panel filter thing to me. R-Tech wouldn't make an induction kit with the pipercross foam cone style filter and aluminium shield if there wasn't gains to be had. A dyno will never simulate under bonnet temperatures you get on the road.
