The only other option you have is to drill the airbox and hook up a cold air feed....replacing the paper filter with a pipercross or k&n one....personally id just buy the induction kit as they are only between 50 and 60 quid.... :smiley:

its just the cone,i'll get a pic 2mo so u can see what it is.all u need is some cold air pipe that u can get from anywhere and its cheaper than the proper stuff!the k&n came off my vr6 and u get aload of adaptors to see which 1 fits best,the actual cone is the 1 for a vr6 so it should go straight on!  :wink:

I was going to drill out the irbox on our Mk3 8v but my mechanic told me it would probably let water in...

Is it not advised on the 8v engines?
