How much of the current pipe work does this replace? I've seen the Bmc filter online looks very nice, but their pictures aren't great.

Pete - I asked this probably daft question on a thread a while ago but got no reply:
I've done your airbox mod (just the propeller until warranty ends) but why not do away with the intake pipework entirely and have the airbox open to the engine compartment? No restriction, less dust (and easy to fit a dust pre-filter), plenty of fresh air (would it really be that hot when moving) and with a decent intercooler to cool it down... I look forward to being educated, if you would be so kind Matt Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Lots of hot air = less dense air = less Oxygen = less power
JUst work on removing the restrictions between the vent(s) and the air box. Possibly replace the airbox itself but don't put an open filter in the engine bay. |

Yeah - that's the only reason I can think of but I wonder how hot it is in that corner of the engine compartment when you're moving and how much a big intercooler can compensate? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Really not sure about that on a tdci, the only way to know is too try it and measure the IAT.

Hmmm - not as easy as I thought. When I did the airbox mod, I just pushed the intake pipework out the way a bit to mangle the propeller. Now I need to move it right away. Any suggestions please? I've never removed the airbox before and it isn't obvious Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
