Hmmm surely a heat shield that seals the filter from the hot air rather than just covers it from te radiant heat is better though  :undecided:

I've never had any problems   :smiley:

And even if I did it would be a good excuse to rebuild the engine and fit uprated rods  :grin:

I like that good thinking!

This is the R-Tech sheild and filter.

You have to go to them and get it custom fitted. In the winter it's the only part of you bonnet that doesn't defrost. I stole the photo but I'll replacing my P-Flow with one when I get mapped at R-Tech.
03 210 Seat LCR. Badger5 V2.2TIP, Fordge 007p, Wellycooler, Quaife ATB LSD, Nuespeed ARB's, KW Clubsports, 330mm discs, 3" turbo back de cat and still on the standard map!
