I know, but in the later years it has not been that cold in Denmark.
If it should be a problem in the winter then it will only take me under an hour to install old system.

Yeah it only took 68 years ;)
The other watersports like sailing and rowing has been a disapointment. Usally we get some gold there.

IF the ECU compensates for air temperature you can take that all off as it won't matter. I believe it does on your car, but sometimes EU versions of control software are different than ours.

That's a poor job of mimicking the factory air box inlet. At least pull the tube all the way to the air filter.

The hose is right at the edge of the cone. Can`t turn the filter or the hose more towards each other.
Have seen lots of open filter that are placed at the location of original filterbox where they get no cold air.
As it is a NA I don`t think I will get more power and at the other hand I don`t think I will loose any power with this
filter in this location.
Why did I then do it then ?
Looks and sound a lot better.

As I said I really don`t think I will loose any power this way.

The original way the air travels 50 cm through a hose and then through the filterbox and then 40 cm a hose to throttlehouse.
You don`t think the air will heat up that long way ?
Now the air travel 15 cm trough hose and 15 cm through filter and 20 cm through hose to trottlehouse.

Have now driven for some days and don`t fell any loss of power. Think is faster, but that could just be the more noise or feeling because of that.
