Supercharged 2 Posted December 3, 2003 I thoought all the boxes were the same size for Corrado's - someone mentioned the other day that there are some differences... Have you tried it in 'the birds' car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted December 3, 2003 which means you'll have a bigger airbox....must be good for at least 0.5bhp! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebrent 0 Posted December 5, 2003 what would a k and n panel filter actually do for a 1.8 16v? i wanted to get an induction kit but was told the only people who do em are strove(spelling) motorsport, are the k and n panel filters universal?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Ben remeber to pull that flute like air feed thing out of the airbox as well for improved flow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted December 10, 2003 sorry to come back again so late but only just tried it in the missus` car and i`m getting exactly the same problem-the filter is too long!!! the code on the box and the end of the filter is 33-2032! if anyone`s got one lying about ( or can be bothered to go and check theirs ) it would be much appriciated as it dead annoying! cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Sounds like you've definately got the wrong one. Give C&R Enterprises a call and ask them to verify the code on it. http://www.candrenterprises.co.uk 0115 978 5740 Once you've got one that fits, drill the Airbox for maximum effect. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
