AT THE LEFT DOWN SIDE EDGE OF THE FILTER BOX CUT ABOUT 5 CM HOLE AND INSTALL A 55MM HOSE DIRECTED TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR.YOU WILL ALL NOTICE A GREAT DIFFERENCE AT HIGH RPMS.:devil:

This is'nt an easy proposition on the Ibiza. What space in front of the car would you aim for? Its damn tight with a load of stuff blocking your path to fresh air.

Maybe you could cut a hole in the bumper and put a trumpet air inlet into it?

If I was'nt worried about cutting holes in my new car :eak: then I would fit a NACA duct in the left lower front side part of the plastic bumper moulding, as there is easy access there for ducting for an airbox.

Can't bring myself to get the saw out though !

Did so on the Jetta, and that broke my heart :(

:)

I ordered my NACA duct from Demon Tweeks.

But it will (probably) make less difference to us, because our outside air temp is single figures at the moment - you are probably closer to our summer temps!
