RA snorkle and Blitz filter all fitted! :D

Image

IMO, was a bit of a bitch to fit, and the bit where the airbox meets the snorkle has a tiny gap, but not enough to worry me.

The push bolt on the right is not long enough so I used a bolt and two washers. The left one still fits though!

Went for a spirited drive around the block and it's great! Induction sound has definitely changed and the clutch and throttle pedal just seems... lighter? I don't know if that's the right word for it but it was like they were easier to depress when changing gears :) It's not just me either, my dad could feel it too.

I don't feel any difference in power frankly, and I didn't drive enough to get a good gauge on the fuel consumption.

zock, I know you wanted some pointers on fitting it so here goes:
- To take off the last bit of the stock snorkle connected to the airbox, push down on the airbox while pulling the snorkle up. Cheers to Graham for that (had to call him :P)
- Use a bolt and washer for the right push bolt, not cable ties. IMO it just looks better/cleaner and I reckon it's tighter.
- Don't forget to reset the ECU afterwards!
I think that's about it... Definitely do it!

Well it was easier than getting the stock one off that's for sure :P There's still a little gap with the RA one, but it doesn't bother me

If you could get a refund on your CAI you could get something that works
