Hi people

I've been through all the relevant searches and howtos and as far as I can see there are several issues with fitting an air filter to the Pug.

Firstly, it seems there are various breather pipes that need to be connected - is this right? Does this mean I need to order any extra parts or brackets? Or would everything come with the kit?

Secondly it appears there are two ways of doing it - the first is to run the piping down to the bottom corner of the car - bit of a ballache by the looks of things and surely runs a very real risk if picking up water? The second method seems to involve a filter directly onto the throttle body - presumably this is the way that needs breather pipes and the such attaching?

I think for safety's sake I'd rather put one directly onto the throttle then run some pipework for the cool air, it's only a track car so it doesn't really matter if it looks crap and suffers a little when warm and slow.

If anyone has any input / corrections / experience / links to the right units I'd be most appreciative.

Cheers
O.

I agree it shouldn't be an issue, it's just not the kind of thing that's particularly forgiving if it does happen!

Sounds like the normal one is the way to go then, so is it just a case of buy one of these and that's all I'll need?

Cheers

Okay, I'll probably go with that then if someone can confirm that kit contains everything I need.

go for a itg or a pipercross or even ram air they sound awsome so iam told

go for a pipercross foam mate or a ram air cheap and you get a mental induction roar....

its just a filter m8 thats all but the original air box is a real b*tch to remove

no worrys

You can get replacement for standard filters made by K&N that fit directly in the airbox. Slightly growlier induction noise, and I could hear a very slight woosh after lifting off the throttle at high revs.

Another thing you could do would be to get a cone filter to fit on the end of the standard pipe that goes into the airbox, and have a cone filter inside the original airbox?

You could also go for an enclosed filter type thing like the BMC ones and enclosed pipercross ones.

If you just stick a filter on the end of the TB it will be getting hot air from the radiator and you'll lose a fair bit of low-end torque due to deleting most of the inlet tract.

Replacement cotton filter FTW. Induction kits are a complete waste of time and money with no gains what so ever, they just cause poor MPG and you sound like the local 1.2 corsa.

Well, finally fitted. It was not easy at all to put it up there, but i wasnt going to fit it down there in the standard position, too many ponds and lakes on Uruguayan roads. Feels like driving in Venecia
Anyways, it sounds amazing really, and I could make it face to the inlet. I now have to fit back that little piece of pipe that comes from the forward of the radiator, and conect it straight to the filter housing, and done! Cold air feed, without the risk of sucking water
Oh! And the bonnet closes perfectly
