Has anyone fitted K&N Apollo Filters to their FD, did you get good results, just wondered what you do with the other pipes as well.

Bump!

I\'m tempted by one of these, I\'ve currently got a stock air box.

Does anyone have one installed? Does it work well? Any pics?

Not large enough for big turbo\'s though - if you are heading anywhere near 400bhp this filter is to restrictive. You need a lot of space under the bonnet as well (as you can see)

Yeah I like the look of that, much better than having the normal cones. I\'m on stock twins, I saw a post saying that I would need a Y splitter, as only 1 turbo is sucking at a time I guess that would be the way to go?

oh, just read this...
Stock boost is 10 psi 7 psi 10 psi, also its not 1st turbo then second its first then both at once. 1 bar is also the absolute maximum you want to push them (with all the supporting mods) before they just generate heat and go pop.

You learn something everyday!
