Filtering hot air

[Gibbo-Vtr]

i've recently put a filter on mk1 vtr without a cold air feed and i've noticed that slowly but surely its been lagging power .. and sorry if this kind of thread has been on before, but is this common and what can i do to cure it ?

stick a cold air feed to it. take it that its not a closed induction, just the filter. will just have to get a air feed from the front of your car and aim it at the filter, or just stick your old filter box etc back on and change the filter.

if i stick a cold air feed on it .. will it stop lagging or will i have to get some new coils?

and ye its just an open coned filter

not to sure mate, but if it wasnt lagging before the filter, then i would imagen its just the filter making it do it. there are a few people on here whos done it. might have to look around and ask someone whos done the same

no wasnt lagging before, defo gonna get a cold air feed but and also gonna see if it is my coil packs that i need to replace. cheers anyway :y:

get a Panel Filter in the old airbox with a cold air feed :)

Not as noisy but more power
