Hi guys
Those of you at the recent VOC meet may of heard my ramblings about an airbox for my cone filter . . . I made a start :
Fashioned out of chicken wire and covered in duct tape, it does the job !
The corner of the bay is now mostly sealed against the bonnet.
Boosting is a lot more consistant now! I thought I had unplugged the boost regulator or something to get it to perform like it does, but all seems well !

It's more obvious why I'm looking into moving the battery as well !!
Still not sure on what to do . . .

Thanked 3,484 Times in 2,466 Posts I think Chris - if you are having it like this - you might wanna consider additional cold air ducting from the front splitter, rather than moving the battery. It will be cheaper and easier to install.

I would, but there is no possible place to put one on a C70 - there are no extra holes on the curvy front bumper and the rads take up all the space !
