Default Inner Wing airbox delete. Newage ?

Hi Guy's, as above any hints on fitting a Cold Air Feed, through the wing from the fog cover and removal of the wing resonator thingy ??

On my classic i did this. Not much really can be said, nice tight fit to get it out, take wheel off,under inner wing cover, undo a few bolts or clips, wiggle it loads and maybe swear if you hit your hand on something. Does n't take long.

Thanks for that - Was "a bit sure" it was from the inner wing into the box, thought maybe, that you could do it from the engine side :0 Thanks

That looks good, I assume, that then connected to the standard snorkel/airbox ?

yes, a direct replacement for the intake monstrosity in the inner wing, the elbow links up the original air intake from under the bonnet to the airbox. you can hear the turbo spooling up more, and hear the recirc valve dumping. Some people say that the original airbox smoothed out any 'pulses' on the intake air, although i have had mine on for 3 years and noticed no ill effects. ( i did fit it prior to my de-cat remap though)

i took mine out other day removed front wing and bumper to do it both and easy job then ran my induction kit down so filter is where the old air box used to be in the wing! removed my fog lights and cut up an old fog light cover and put a cold air feed funnel in there, this with the fog light missing flows air directly on the filter do you want some pics put up?
