Default Cone air filter fitment

I have recently purchased a GRP A K&N cone for the cossie, just after some tips on fitment, I have a new of boost pipes from roose and the top turbo one to the cone requires some trimming, how much though? where abouts should the filter sit in the space?

any help or photos would be much appreciated,

cheeRS

is it worth getting a group A filter over a standard K&N sized filter? just wondering.

is there a lot more airflow with a group A compared to the standard size K&N offer?

There ya go mate....when you fit it, just put some sort of double sided foam tape under the filter as it will rub thru your paint otherwise.
