GordonC 20 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Not the best place for it mate as the heat off the exhaust manifold will go straight into it causing heat soak Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Could cause a fire having a paper or cotton filter virtually on top of the manifold. You need it as far away from the heat as you can really somewhere where there's a nice cold feed into filter Link to post Share on other sites
Poriordan 97 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 The performance will be terrible with that there mate and as said above chance of it catching light Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Mine's right behind my headlight but I still want to put a cold air feed from the bottom of the bumper up to the filter. when I had my mk4 20v turbo I had the cone right down in the bottom of the bumper. It also had the R32 bumpers so I cut the grille in the bumper so cold air was rammed into the filter lol. The colder and denser the air you have going to the engine give a better explosion in the cylinders Poriordan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Colder air means there's more air by volume so more fuel can be burned Poriordan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
