Air Filters

[SuperRedMR2]

Right,

Time has come to change my Blitz filter that is in my boot.

I am looking to fit a filter directly to my throttle body. I would put my current one on there, but it is too heavy and sags without additional support.

What are the most effective, possible minima power gains and give a nice little whistle when you give it some beans?

What about the air temp sensor that is in the current piping?

What about the air temp sensor that is in the current piping?

The 57i for the Mk1b comes with a piece of hose that extends the filter out far enough for the sensor to be installed.

You still need to drill a hole to fit it though.

The 57i filter has a couple of holes in its base for the two sensors that need relocating

[SuperRedMR2]

I could just use my existing silicon tube drill a hole and push it in then? I take it, it doesnt have to go a certain distance from the TB or does it?

No its plug and play, as above theres 2 holes in the mk1b filter, one for the temp sensor and one for the idle up pipe.

If you can't fit a 57i kit you shouldnt be working on the car

57i kit dead simple to fit comes with all instructions you need. No holes need drilling - the one part you need to relocate bolts through an existing hole. And it sounds good. Buy it!!!
