K&N induction kit on ABF 2.0l 16v

[Maximuss]

hi Guys,

Just installed my K&N kit - sounds pukka.
One question for anyone who has got one in their 2.0l 16v ABF:-

There is a heat pipe from the exhaust manifold (back of engine) which attaches to the bottom of the original air box - where does this pipe go on the induction kit??
i have left it hanging around in the engine

Instructions don't mention anything about this.

Cheers, thanks.

Maximuss,

Quick question: What car do you have and where did you buy your induction kit from?

Cheers

Ive often wondered this as mine is the same. Is it easy to remove?

Hat to say it mate but these kit's are pant's, you need a closed fileter with a proper cold air feed to make a real difference, I've got a K&N on the ibiza I've just bought and it doesn't pull as well once warmed up as it's sucking in hot air from the bay, I'm going BMC CDA again!

Going back a long way Max but did you ever get the 4 branch and race cat done??

Have you guys not looked into putting a sheild between the air filter and engine? worked a treat on my old mk3 golf...

Wheres the best place to buy one of these kits for a seat ABF and how much am i looking at?

Cheers
