400bhp is relatively small in terms of forced induction air filters.

Even a relatively small typical K&N cone will pose virtually no restriction.

When you say you cant find one big enough, just how little room do you have ?

Looks like a Cosworth Group A filter without the trumpet.

That's what I have on my Cabby and what I'd recommend. Matt Lewis Motorsport have some reasonably priced ones.

A K&N group A filter will do the job.
