standard air box

[carlos45]

recently had a 106 GTi engine put in the saxo, so basically a Vts, any way ive got a pipercross viper induction kit fitted at the minute and im not sure if its doin much good? so i was thinkin of just putting the standard airbox back on with a replacement element (K&N etc). im at the stage (and age) now with the new engine where i just want to get the best performance out of it rather than sounding 'PHAT' or whatever. Any 1 done this change in their 16v? any differences noticed? cheers :y:

ive put a standard airbox into mine, instead of an aftermarket one....cant tell you how it runs cos ive got no compression lol

Def get rid of the viper mate. Theyre actually known for losing power theyre worse than open cones. Def get a std airbox or a scoop filter or BMC.

Personally i dont think there will be any filtration differences between an uprated panel filter and a BMC/Raceland, but the piping on the std box might be a bit restictive? Not sure on the VTS setup ive never had a proper look at it

yeah, the viper looks and sounds nice but thats about it.... and for £250 they dont seem to do a very good job tbh. when i put the standard airbox back ill probably modify the cold air feed in some way.

i have it, and with a direct cold air feed u notice the difference than without one,
itll be like any other enclosed filter tbh tho £250 is expensive for what it is..
