Loud blowing sound from under bonnet

I'd probably go for a standard box. You can fit a panel filter in it, but I personally wouldn't bother TBH. Standard paper one is fine.

Thanks allot for your advice.

disagree i think aftermarket filters are much better for letting the engine breathas the micro size is much high so let through more air and noise escape

Right now I have a shielded cone filter but I do still have the old box.

Update-

I replaced all boost and breather hoses, got my exhaust blowing repaired and took off shielded cone filter and gave it a good clean.

I notice for the first 15 mins of driving the car sounds perfect but once she is hot I still get this extra growling noise when I floor it! I took her to a VW garage and they came for a spin with me, but they tell me its nothing to worry about.

Maybe im just too fussy but its never made this noise in the past lol
