Jim,
I think you should stick with what your tuner recommends, which is as I believe a Piper-X or Ramair item?

Find out which it is and I'm sure I can do you a good deal .

what ever you do make sure you get it boxed off....

a friend ran his car at AVA yesterday and they managed to get another 15 horsepower just by seperating the filter from the rest of the engine bay

with no extra heat shield seperating the turbo from the air filter it was impossible to keep cold, and thats with the bonnet open

agreed that the air flow rate would be higher but AVA is about as close as you can get to road condtions on a normal type RR set up.

AVA uses two of these fans and about ten other smaller fans.





makes you wonder if all the tiny small fans you see at some well known RR are up to the job
