Not sure what induction etc you have, but Roger Clarke do an 80mm induction kit with a huge K&N cone filter.

You need to fit it - or any 80mm MAF tube - immediately prior to mapping. Do not drive it until mapped, as I know to my cost!

its huge, if you imagine the end of the cone on the inner wing the end of the trumpet is past the intake pipe, and there is no mount for a MAF on it.

They sent you th wrong one, contact and tell them you are running the oem ecu and you need the "short" filter to go with the maf version, also they should supply you the Samco pipe (extra cost) as this is crucial to the install and getting the car sorted out in respect of scaling etc.

cheers

It's a special they did for Bob Rawle, probably best you give them a call.

Presumably, RCM sent you this one, right?:-

But you prob need this one?:-

It looks like the same one in tim's pic, so hopefully will fit in the available space.

(I think this is what Bob is getting at(?))

No - the filter looks the same, but the trumpet is not right as it does not have the MAF flange.

I bought mine second hand, so don't know the part number I'm afraid.

No, that's still not the right one, as it's not 80mm. As already suggested bu others, I really recommend you phone them.
