Nice job. It does look good in silver. I received my last filter in the post yesterday
Fitted it and works a treat.
im just glad I had some pipe lying about to channel the crankcase breather down the front away from the air vent for the interior - fumes are rather unpleasant

sweet that. how much are they?
would you see much gains without a remap?
I'm curious as to where the cold air feed is on the 6n2, usually feeds are behind the front grille, its funny to see an airbox so far from the front of the engine bay.

Standard air feed goes into the left wheel arch - follow the pipe:P
They cost £160 - jon (kamracing) was doing a group buy for a little less or that if i remember correctly, but that might be over now.
You should gain 1-5hp depending on your setup.

I can no longer smell the fumes from my breather filter. Or maybe I'm used to it

BMC's dyno recorded just under a 6 brake increase with the BMC over the OEM filter but not sure whether they remaped it after.
I can do you a silver one at the GB price as one guy pulled out...

if your after a black one i'd have to order it in as i've just run out of stock... should only be a couple of days extra to wait though...

I got a bit of rubber pipe from a scrappy, and piped the crankcase breather all the way down to behind the front left foglight next to the fuel filter - solved all the problems heheh

Howd u mean - the bmc is round the other way?
In a non-gti/non16v engine, the throttle body is in the middle, which means there isnt enough space to point it left. Mine points towards the coolant tank i have that problem:P

im confused....mines a gti - but the side that says "engine side" is facing the car

The end labelled "engine side" should be the end connected to the 90 degree bend off the throttle body.
