its a air flow metter, and errr you can remove it with out doing other work to the car (replace the ecu and add map sensors to manifold), i assume your thinking about doing a cai?

[Shire Boy]

Yep thinking bout doing a cai duno how to do it though

[Ben_20EJT]

air flow meter addaptor plate (bolts when to the air box side), pod filter of that or run the pipe work behing the fog light in front bar, 90' off throttle body, etc, just bits one togehter out of the intercooler bends and silicone hose bends from super cheap.

look out but, ive been told the oil cleaned pod can distroy the airflow metter and then if left can cause damage to the motor, somebody correct me if im wrong.

don't touch it.

leave it alone.


get off my grass.

[Shire Boy]

Haha sorry bout the grass

[Alex]

Too much to explain.

Take home message: Leave it alone.

Don't put a pod filter on it.

Just change the air filter if you're up for it. Cheaper/easier/better flowing/won't notice any difference on an NA or turbo.

Else there will be a world of pain. And if you break the air flow meter (AFM), they can be costly to replace.

[Shire Boy]

I actually did put a pod on but to me it felt alot shitter to drive throttle response was worse IMO and yeh

I'd slash my wrists if my under bonnet was in such a state of disarray.

It's a shambles.


Fix it.

Stalker much?

I had no choice but to abandon air box. But if I did have a say in the matter, I would have retained it.

LEDs?

Blood.
Pressure.
Rising.

[Adam]

Stalker much?

Take it as a compliment I was "researching" for my fmic kit and yours is a perfect example!

[B4TT]

I am a big fan of the standard airbox, the airtract that comes after it is far more restrictive than any airbox would ever be.

[Shire Boy]

The white wire runs to my foglights dodgy or what??
