    Drill the bottom of your airbox and for extra results get a cold air feed to it via a pipe. Read the thread on drilling your airbox.

    The reverse IC is more direct I believe (someone nudge if I am wrong). Further modifications at this stage are big bucks - the next stage is the 19T and remap to around 340bhp.

    Looking at the pipe paths i would agree, i fancy that on mine, HOWEVER i do wonder if the pipe going over the top of the engine could possilbly give extra heat to the inlet temp.

    Don't drill the airbox on ME7, you'll get a power drop. It doesn't like it (unless you have a S/V70 where a cold air feed is easier to do).
