Take that crappy air filter off and use a proper one in a sealed box. You are DECREASING performance by sucking in hot air from the engine. You need *COLD* air, not engine temperature. You will see a noticable improvement. You were conned when you bought the boy racer air filter. All it does is slow you down.
@urbex2007 Well... Im guessing your not pro? Hahahaha, clearly an amature.
It needs a heat sheild and a cold air feed pipe, but a conial air filter is MUCH better than a sealed air box. It's to increase ENGINE breathing, the same as an exhaust system would. The air filter isnt boy racery... it's a good mod on a turbo'd car, period. It needs to breath properly, especially if tuned, and not only that, because the engine has to work less it gives BETTER fuel economy when cruising.
That's not my problem anymore. I sold that car a while ago

@urbex2007 yep your right, i can cost more than 10bhp
the turbo will take warm air and the intercooler is not able to cool it down enough.
so it makes it les efficent.

@urbex2007 By low speed maybe but it has an itercooler so it will cool down the air anyway+wind speed+More air= + > -
