Default Show me your Cossie Air filters

After having no luck sourcing another t4 lid for my airbox the only resort is to get a conefilter/induction kit.

can folks please put up pics of their set ups onto big turbo's, t4 gt30 etc.

want to get it boxed off properly like Rods etc.

what are you all running...where did you get them from?

cheers !

Do you think the filter would benifit from a heat shield from the turbo? And do you have any exra ducting? 2 things I've always wondered!!

Do spec R not still do the large cover?

345 quid! - they used to make a cover that glued onto a standard box? surely not 345 quid?.

Can an escort cossie one not be modded to same outlet size as an rs500 easily? thought i had seen than before?

Cheers for nice comments

You're thinking of the Bailey one .

Regarding the Escort, yes it can - in fact I am working on that now, it's just that the shonky people assigned to the task are slower than a sloth on "go-slow" week .

tom is using an escort one in his 3dr.

just bought a rs500 cone from andymancos, so should be good till i can get another box.

mike...whats the score with you converting escort boxes to t4 spec?? how far is this away?

cheers everyone for the replies

Was a bit triggerhappy... Sequential setups usually use paralell compressors, not serial like these. And run all the exhaust trough just one turbo at first to spool fast and includes the other turbo higher up the revrange. Or am I way off now too?
