Just fitted a dynatwist to my ibzia but was a bit confused as to what to do with the cold air feed. I have left it in the OE intake position. However to do this I had to pull out a length of pipe that seemed to be going into the wheel arch liner. First off is this the recommended route and how do people keep the face of the pipe over the intake hole. Secondly is there any issues with water here as the surrounding foam felt damp but not wet? Cheers

My preference for fitting the inlet pipe is in the OE position thru the foam fitment the OE pipe went thru. It needs trimming to accept the 80mm OD pipe. Sharp knife and carefully.
Cold air pipe will need to be shortened of excess pipe.
Foam is damp as it collects some water from arch liner, but nothing that it does'nt do from the std inlet. Not an issue.
Benefit from this area is non turbulent air and higher than if routing low down and forward, by the intercooler area... Risk of Floods and water ingress especially in this wet weather from the low intake position..
