should i drill my airbox?

barny...wots that big thing on top of your inlet manifold by where the filler cap is???

 

Looks like a catch tank to me

 

right, i've got the bottom half of a air box which i can play with ... should i try something as suggested above? any other ideas? thanx

 

Just drill the arse out of it!

 

Drilling it's for puffs , what you need to do is remove the snorkel bit, then get an air hacksaw and cut a grin shape in the inner wing side of the 'box, following the lines of the oval hole left from taking the snorkel out

 

Driller Killer i say

 

right, i've drilled sh!t loads of holes in the wing side of the box. been out and i wasn't totaly sure if it sounds different i think there is a difference though... someone else has said it does sounds louder, but also less powerfull? theres more noise but sounds as if i aint booting it as much as before? hmmm

also sounds silly but would i be losing the 'ram air' that goes into the box as it can escape from the holes? meaning i have less air than before?

thanx

Dont bother unless you have an old airbox to play with. It doesn't make any difference.

 

i already have done it on a old one as said above..

 

How much for a mk1 8v (1.8?)

 

i guess u mean a airbox 2 buy? i bought mine from a german and swedish breakers in blackwood for a fiver, i doubt they would be any more in a similar place? (just the bottom half of the box)
