As above. What do people think of this intake. Is putting the filter down by the front fog grill any better. I have open fog grills so will be almost open to the fresh air outside.

Ignore the cost as i wont want the engine cover.
Comes to about £335.

The potential problem with an intake which draws air directly from so low down is the possibility of water ingress - Obviously seriously bad for an engine.
It's surprising how even standing water from quite minor flooding can whoosh up. I think that some such intake systems have valves but I'm not sure I would trust one. In the UK there is now a very substantial amount of water for a car to deal with and you can never predict when or where. This year has been particularly wet (hence the hosepipe ban!).

Couldn't agree more with Robin. On a side note I used the Neuspeed P-flo in the short ram spec and seemed a decent piece of kit but can draw in quite a bit of hot air compared to an enclosed intake. Good value for money though.

Thanks for the advise from you both.
God point regarding sucking up water :happy2: Think maybe i will go with the normal p-flo and run some ducting up from the fog grill t try and feed it a bit more cold air :happy2:

Before getting my EVOMS i was considering a p-flow but with a custom ally heatshield... :party:

Iv had a p flo on my stage 2 car for jus over a week. Car is definatly more responsive, feels quicker and sounds great. N for £180 its a steal in comparison to the ITG n others alike.

....When comparing with the ITG and other more expensive intakes I think it would make a fairer comparison to see reliable independent data on gains. It depends what you want from an intake - Different folks want different things.

And that i shall be doing as soon as i get a chance to get down to awesome. I shall get back to you on my findings.

....Pity you have missed the chance to dyno both intakes on the same rollers on the same day. But your findings will be interesting anyway. :happy2:
