Best place to put air filter? #630500

The location now is pretty far from optimal ( Picture 1 ) - its actually only getting the hot air from under the bonnet! If a hood scoop wasn't so damn ugly, i would put one in...

Anyways - is there a problem putting the air filter down where it gets air pushed in through the hole in the front bumper? ( Picture 2 )I was thinking about water issues when driving in the rain? Water injection is good, but i guess it would be bad when its not controlled \:\)

Look up Pro Alloy straight induction on the forum. Most coop owners with FMIC get this too. It puts the air intake where you propose \:\)

It's ok in rain but not so good through deep puddles...


F****** b****** thing...

Ah yes, i see! I'll move it down there instead then - should lower the intake temps quite a bit! It's sooo hot under the bonnet when pushing the car \:\)

Mine is where picture two is with a SIP and with a splash guard. What side of the road do you drive on over in Denmark? Just remove one fog light to get plenty of airflow ;\)
