bit confused by what youve wrote, do you mean an enclosed induction kit?, because forced induction is turbo/supercharger mate. if you meant turbo/supercharger then there is no way.

well just put your uprated panel filter inside the standard filter box, and drill a few holes in the box, closest thing i can think of.

the standard air box where you put your panel air filter, or do you mean where to put the holes in it?

if you meant to holes, am not to sure now, its ether in the side near the TOP or in the side near the BOTTOM

dont drill to many holes though... making it look like a swiss cheese probably isnt the best thing to do.

DO NOT DRILL ANY HOLES IN THE AIRBOX.
the airbox is made of abs heat resistant plastic for a reason- to keep hot air out.
the airbox already has a cold air feed with a bit of a scoop on the end as it is.

if your saxo has the flat panel filter not the round one then below the air feed pipe will be a resinator box going into the air box, you can remove this and add a second cold air feed going in the hole the resinator box uses but i wouldnt imagine it would do an awful lot.

basicly the air feed and air filterbox on saxos seems to be well desigined and is faily good as standard, for example my old polo 16v the airbox had restirtors in it and it took the air feed from the arch so alot could be done to improve this where as the saxo not much can be done as it is fairly good as it is.

sorry if that doesnt make much sence lol i have a had a few tinnies mind
