I had a cone filter fitted and ive just changed back to the standard one. My intake temps before were 25-30 when pottering about and up to 63 when booting it. Now its 20-25 when pottering and up to 50 when booting it. It also pulls so much better.

 

Itll fall on deaf ears. You might as well tell them to take their silly VTA 'dump' valves off.....

 

what make was it a cheap one, and was the car mapped to use it. was it cold air fed ??????

 

No it wasnt cheap, no it wasnt mapped for it and yes it had a cold feed. But two of them questions dont come into it as they wont effect the temp and thats what its all about keeping things cool

 

It's no surprise, really. I forget how it is on the later cars, but on my '95 STI the standard intake system draws air from inside the driver's side wing, which has an intake vent below the indicator - ie. cold. An induction kit, however, draws air from directly inside the engine bay, so no wonder it's warmer.

its never going to give any gains then. on a newwage you always need a re map
