Just wondering if I can get some help..........
I have bought a Greddy air filter, one of those large single filter types (Like the RE:AM... one). Im wondering about a couple of things,
First: I know that most filters will not be as good as the standard air box as there is no direct air feed, so I am wanting to get an aluminium air box fabricated. Has anyone done this? (Robbie Calder has something like this I think) Can anyone give me pointers on this like places to mount it to hold it secure.
Secondly: Is there any benefit/negative of having a large single air filter as apposed to the 2 like with Blitz/Apexi ? Does anyone currently have this type of air filter in their car?
Thanks for any help given

You definitely want some kind of heat shield i know its got nothing to do with it but check this out a saw this the other day on another forum.....

This type of enclosed set up would be good........
Thanks for that, any one else got any info?
Anyone got an answer for my second question?
Thnanks

I have a large single filter, but thought that a filter for each turbo would only be sucking air when the turbo is working? Could be really wrong there but if not, that means a bigger filter sucking air for each turbo when it is operating? Seems like a benefit to me.
Any ideas how to get a direct cold air feed plumbed up? All I can think of is a scoop collecting air and feeding by using piping to the filter or creating a hole in the front bumber area for the air to be directed.
Robbie is only using the stock airbox since it already has a cold air feed.
You could always leave the cross over from the intercooler intake to the standard airbox in after fitting. Then you will still get a bit of cold air when the car is moving.
I will eventually get round to fitting an induction kit, and I would at least fit a heat shield.
ps
Can I have your old airbox ?
:D
Im going to try and use the existing air feed in some way. I\'ll have to measure it all up once the filter is in to see how good a fit I can get. Aluminium box should be a good enough heat shield.
