While checking the oil I couldn't help noticing this foam in the airbox... Does this make any difference it removed?
Might make I little improvement in noise, just rip it out and cut the front of the air box out, you'll get a good bit of induction noise from it, it's a common mod
Is there a guide for this on this forum? Or is it a case of just chopping the whole front off the airbox?
Where the suction pipe attachés to the front of the airbox (infront of the ecu) widen the intake hole on the box,
It's not about the hp, it's the noise lol! I swapped the stock panel for a green cotton version, although I don't expect any gains it does give a nice little tone plus the turbo winding up is much louder. The replacement panels are always good value and don't do any harm, mines hd the thickness of the original and amazingly well made. It's coming out next week as got the induction kit ready to go in
So easy, do it in 10 mins. Battery out, ecu out, battery tray out. Pull intake pipes off airbox, tug airbox out.
Yer its screwed to the battery try dont panic its simple. 3 plugs go in the side of it, theres little plastic nibs you need to push down on each one so the grey sliders can go over them and released the plug....youll understand this when you see it!
I just usually unscrew it from the tray and move it out the way. Knowing my luck I would unplug then it wouldn't work again LOL
Tried it the day, got the battery out and ECU, but then i couldnt get the battery tray out as the 2 torx bits are rusted to death at the front. Have to stay the way it is for now
