I fitted the cone and boxed it in when i fitted the T4 , they do prefer boxes but couldnt justify a full stainless box like Euans and from ava's findings the standard box strugles with flow. Also the fact my turbo has a 100mm inlet.

Cut the crap, dump valves ARE for gays, this is undisputed fact backed up by thousands of valid testimonies
Anyway, I digress... Cone Cone Cone Cone Cone Cone Cone Cone.
If dump valves are for gays, then air boxes are for "curious"
Cones are where it's at, and some of them look GOOD! I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow when it's light!
