they reduce the amount of air being forced into the engine by the turbo and help prevent stall/surge

Small update as I was thru to give the car and hug and tell her how much I missed her

Most of the new air box has been done already

It will be one and half time the size of a normal cossie box and sealed to the inner wing, from where it will get its cool air.

fromthe top without the lid.


this one is taken thru where the headlight should be.

yeah the lid has still to be mate from alloy.

it runs a normal cossie panel and another panel similar in size to a saxo VTS etc.

Gets rid of the restriction we had.
