my car is running a cone but still has the airbox feed in front of the filter
surely the intake temps dont matter that much when the air is just fed into a compressor at several hundred degrees anyways?

Just fit a cone filter and be done with it for three good reasons.
1. It's so much more simple and loses all that airbox nonsense.
2. It sounds far better, and wont make any noticeable difference on a road car whatsoever.
3. It'll piss Mike off

do you make any mods to the air box? (like on RST's cutting the front out)

If fact, I was nerveous about the likelyhood of the filter sucking rainwater and locking-up the engine, but when I showed my filter-in-bumper arrangement to Harvey (Gibb), he told me not to worry, because most of the RS500 touring cars had them fitted back in the late 80's.....some of those races were VERY wet
But I still DO worry and only use light throtle/low boost in heavy rain - just in case.......

Mike,
Can you remind me please............
Who was it the modified his Es Cos air box 4 years ago, so that a T4 inlet hose could go straight in to the enlarged opening, without needing a machined reducer to restrict flow?

Your effort was just to push the hose in - very "Blue Peter" .
