Its not as extreme on a turbo car as its all super heated by the turbo and then cooled at the intercooler anyway, although I use a heat shield but more for clean air rather than heat.

I'v ditched the cone now, I was going to cover it with the S3 airbox cover but I dont think there would have been enough airflow around the filter.
I only had the Jetex on for about 30 miles and TBH it did'nt feel any better than when I had my modded airbox, Maybe it needed more time to adapt but it were'nt getting it cos I did'nt like the way it looked
To make the 3" TIP fit with the airbox you need to trim quite a bit off the top elbow, probabley about 1 inch off each end,
The 3" TIP has made a noticeble difference even with the airbox on.
Green cone filter gets my vote.
Had an enclosed BMC-CDA before hand and performed just as well as the open cone IMO. Slightly more noise with the open cone and around £100 cheaper

to be honest im not going down the open cone route but if i was it would be pipercross velocity as i could image it looking pretty sweet. there isnt any pics of cupra engine with one in is there? its the one with the long carbon fibre that goes round side of battery with the cone behind the headlight or in that sort of area
Anyone ever considered the ITG panel filter?, they never need cleaning well the occasional remove loose rubbish , and there less oily, i had one of theses in my last car.
i had a jabba sport cone filter with in 3 weeks it narkef the maff so got a brand new bosh one from dearlers then used a green cone about 2 month later did the same so when to a green pannal filter 5 to 6 months now spot on still ok and alot better on fuel rather than the cone and to be honist the cone made it slower once engine was warm stick with a panal filter mate still get a dump valve noise

I've got a green dynatwist mate with a 104mm cold feed and defo made a difference! dosent dump as loud as it does with a normal cone filter, and induction noise is a bit quieter!
i went back to panel filter (pipercross)... the open cone sounded good but felt down on power, ran 10bhp less on the RR too

Which do i buy green or pipercross?
Is the money difference worth going for the green panel filter?

I used green panel filter on mine ... its a great filter - still in my garage in the air box actually!
Currently run a Neuspeed Induction kit (K&N cone).

Green panel here,a decent panel filter is better than open cone,better for engine too,running mine with smoothed airbox and 80mm CAI.
good old paper filter does it for me, change every 6 month,
Ive never seen genuine claims on filters making an ounce of difference on a turbo motor, if anything put that 40-50 quid towards a decent TIP or other modification,
Ran a k&n on and off with a forge 007p, and not back to the original paper filter & bosch diverter,
green cotton seems the favourite if i had to, but personally paper does it best, & protects youre enging better than any performance filter,
