So the insulation doesn't reduce bonnet vibration does it please? I'm always messing with my bonnet catches, if I think the bonnet moves too much whilst driving.

My youtube channel has the best of Cadwell from this year - featuring some quite good noise - from mine - ME7 (IPD sheilded cone).

Thanks, and I'll let you know tomorrow.

**silverhorse** · Saturday 10th November 2012, 22:12

With these cone filters, I gather they are oiled and this can knacker the air flow meter. Is this right, or are just some more heavily oiled than others? No doubt a knackered flow meter is not £4.99 from Halfrauds!!
This is going to be a job for next weekend so want to do it right.

The noises from the youtube posts are the business, chaps

**Wobbly Dave** · Saturday 10th November 2012, 22:27

never used any oil on mine & even with an ITG panel before that - never had any issues

How did you find the ITG panel filter? Only a small increase in flow I assume? I'm looking at a filter to buy and fit, but don't want to go down the cone route....yet! With my newly acquired 850 2.3 T5 I will be aiming for sub 300bhp on the standard turbo with air/exhaust/fuel/boost/map to suit. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
