There is small "rubber hole" in the intake pipe... what is that for? Should this be connected to anything? I have blanked mine off :happy2:

Post by: GtiKris on July 13, 2016, 03:37:05 pm: So having it covered up / blanked off is the way to do it then?

Post by: r5gtt on July 13, 2016, 10:02:54 pm: It's an intake and that's all that really matters. I've used cheap £15 jobs in the day and they work lol :scared1:

Post by: Tinytim on August 06, 2016, 09:12:29 pm: I've never understood the purpose of these kits. You're replacing the standard system that pulled through cold air and replacing it with something that gets warmer air. Can anyone explain the point of these?

Isn't the idea that you remove the panel filter in the box & the cone had higher flow ?

Get a proper intake
